In fact, they’re so prolific at producing realistic latex barf that The Chicago Tribune decided to write a story about them. Check out this description of the “laff” inducing joke up-chuck.

Set your eyes on Fun Inc.’s 5-inch disc of latex and colored foam, marketed as “Whoops — The Most Disgusting Laff Getter,” and savor the realism: It is amber-colored and translucent, with tiny bubbles.

There are sometimes when you kind of wish “show don’t tell” wasn’t the mantra of any good writer.

In the time that Fun Inc. isn’t churning out faux puke they are pushing magic tricks and supplies, check out their selection including the cheeky 21st Century Bra Trick here.
