The Odd Shop Featured Products
Mini Water Vortex: This color-changing novelty lamp resembles the vortex in the Lobby at Ripley’s Times Square as it constantly swirls the water into a glowing, cyclone-shaped wonder.
Aqua Bubble Panel: Resembling the fluid-thinking lamp that inspired Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” painting, these panels filled with water send colored bubbles through the tank, and are a peaceful addition to any room.
Insect Food: YES, THEY ARE REAL! (And you can eat them). An assortment of chocolate covered, candy encased, and chip-like insects, these snacks are more popular than you would imagine. Yummmm.
Ripley’s Plush: How often do you see an animal with 2 heads or too many legs? Although they rarely survive in the wild, we have lots of them at Ripley’s. Take one home to love!
Shark in a Jar: A real dogfish in a jar of non-toxic blue water and alcohol. When frightened, pregnant sharks spontaneously abort their embryos, and divers catch them as they float up onto the shore. They are often used for research, and you can find them here in the Odd Shop.
Rubber Shrunken Head: This ornament/rearview mirror décor/keychain or whatever you choose to make of it will remind you to respect your enemies.
TAKE THE UNBELIEVABLE HOME!
