THE ENTIRE SMILING TOOTH GROOP PRODUCT LINE!!!

I discovered the STG stuff at my favorite food remainders store a couple of years ago. The Line consists of large plastic teeth/gum combos (teeth very white, gums very pink) taht open and close. The manufacturers offer "Coin's Home" (a bank, dummy), "Funny Hand Bag" (as in "extremely peculiar"), "Memo" (notepaper inside), "Cosmetics and Jewel Case" (with a cushiony lining in flowered satin), and "Ash Tray" (when you open it it says "NoSmokingNoSmokingNoSmoking" until you smash the lid down; merely closing it isn't enough).

Of course I bought several of these "items". But was the company counting on the existence of people like me in sufficient numbers to make a profit? A real gamble, and I daresay an unsuccessful one.
