Pandemic Inspired Toys

James Griggs Teaches Us to Laugh Again With the Swineflew Toy

The Swineflew toy is the best way to face the H1N1 virus. I know the epidemic that was swine flu claimed many lives and set off an international health crisis but come on, how can you not love this toy?

The cleverness of the toys name alone is what got me. The Swineflew toy. The Swineflew toys come in three colors: pink, white, and black. Supplies are limited so if you need a piece of pun history I’d reccomend acting fast. As for me I’m fine just knowing the Swineflew toy exists in all its pun glory.
