FOAM BLOCKS-FREE TO ANY HOME! GOOD FOR TARGET PRACTICE, PLAY FORTS, DOCKS, SCULPTING. USE YOUR IMAGINATION! TAKE AS MANY AS YOU WANT, TAKE THEM ALL! ATTACHED ARE PICS, THEY USED TO BE STACKED UNITL MY GRANDSONS HAD A BLAST MAKING FORTS & CLIMBING ON THEM. CAN BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH.
Foam? Or delicious blue cheese? Same mold, anyhow. When your kids play with these, they’ll be plenty sick for a few days, but they’ll develop superhero-like immunity forever after. Just in time for the swine flu pandemic!
Ad fails to mention that said grandsons are now in septic shock, after scraping body parts on what looks like a giant microplane nutmeg grater (also FREE!) and then touching horrific filthy blocks. I also wonder just when those darn kids knocked down the neat stacks. Was it this century? Because it took a while for those mold colonies to bloom so successfully, not to mention the tree seedlings hopefully sprouting up.
GOOD FOR TARGET PRACTICE (if you happen to be targeting mold).
THEY USED TO BE STACKED UNTIL MY GRANDSONS HAD A BLAST MAKING FORTS (you can still see the blast marks).
CAN BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH (grandsons, that is).
They also neglect to mention where the foam came from..
“…Can be cleaned with a soft bristle brush. And a 9500 psi pressure washer. And some 1950’s era chemicals that aren’t even legal to pronounce anymore. And kryptonite….”
isnt this something a bic lighter could take care of?
@beegee
Perhaps if releasing lots o’ carcinogens is no biggie.
He might get better results advertising them as a free science project.
I think I would gladly use them for target practice. These would be the first thing I would want to destroy with a large weapon.
“Hay son, hold this foam block up in front of you while I shoot my 45 at it. Don’t worry, the bullet will just bounce off.”
He should have mentioned that they are good for that elusive “art project.” That would have made someone take them.
Ahh, I guess he did mention sculpting, so there you go.
the grandkids used to play with these:

Use them for target practice… From orbit.
