They are tiny, and most of that is shell and green pus. Who in their right mind is going to spend that much money for so little reward? <br /><br />There was an old Soviet joke I heard somewhere about how the Communists would have to leave one country in the world with a free economy so they would know how much stuff was supposed to cost.
