An increase to 600% of original size suggests that each dimension will increase by about 1.8x (180%).
[/QUOTE]
How do you arrive that, by volume and the cube root of 6?
I would take it to mean by a factor of six in each dimension.
If you are correct, it sounds like false advertising to me. 
Well, the thing was climbing out of the quart mason jar this morning. Now I’ve got it in a gallon ice-cream bucket…had to eat the ice cream first though.
It feels really…gross. Not all that slimy just gross. Like you might imagine a fibrous tumor to feel–sorta rigid but bendable…nasty.

Try using only fresh fruit in the ice dream.
I meant the OCTOPUS!!!

Think I hear a trainwreck coming!

Ah yes, the punch line to a joke I heard in a Samoan bar.
I belive John Hurt can explain what happens.
I dunno- it might not actually hurt you*. I threw one of those in a hot tub once, and the chemicals in the hot tub turned the whole thing into a pile of mush. I think the chemicals in your stomach would probably break it down pretty effectively.
*I have never, currently do not, and will never have an expanding foam octopus in my stomach, and everything I said is pure conjecture. Do I look stupid?
I was in Walgreen’s this afternoon and saw the octopus that Inigo has been telling us about. The thing is friggin’ HUGE as it is. It’s the size of the palm of my hand. I’m worried that stomach acid could turn the thing into some B-movie horror that will kill all of us that participated in the thread and played a role in its creation.
Not that it’s up to me whether Inigo eats the octopus. I’m just sayin’.

Doesn’t look like 600% to me. Four times tops.

Right now there’s a very, very puzzled ebay seller wondering why the hell this toy is getting so much interest (over 700 page views) while his average item attracts 10 if he’s lucky.

Tried to type “Stupendous” and think “Stupid” at the same time.

Great, like I didn’t have enough on my mind without summer courses and my upcoming GREs.
Of course, getting killed by a B-movie octopus while being bathed in Inigo’s residual digestive juices sounds pretty good, when you consider my current life which consists of circles with chords, trains moving away from each other at constant speeds, and about 700 obscure vocab words which I’ve had to memorize. I kind of hate my life. After a month of listening to me use words like “lugubrious” about six times in every sentence, I think Mrs. Fresh is beginning to hate my life too.

I’ve thought a bit on this, friend, and I think you’d better serve the interests of this community by swallowing a real octopus.
[/QUOTE]
Did you see what happened on that episode of CSI? You’ve gotta make sure it’s bound up first before swallowing, or else it’ll make like a dog drug off to the bathroom and stretch its legs out so you can’t pull it through the doorway, so to speak.

The news report I saw stated unequivocally that if you consumed them both at the same time, you’d vomit. My kids are hounding me to buy them some so they can try the experiment. However, the report said nothing about what would happen if you ingested Mentos, Diet Coke, and a toy octopus. How can I ever find out?
[/QUOTE]
If you can afford to get rid of a kid, I suggest you stuff the googies inside one of them like a Tijuana mule.
Please, record findings on video so I can see the carnage.

It’s huge and still very rigid. It was uncomfortably larger than original size, maybe abour twice as big, <snippity-snip>
