Icky Yicky Eyeballs: Neat Halloween Party Favors

Last year while browsing through some of my local stores and dollar stores I came across the Icky Yicky Eyeballs ball. For only $1.00 I figured it would make a neat piece to throw on the counter for kids to play with at my Halloween party.
The Icky Yicky Eyeballs is cool. It basically is a bunch of soft rubber eyeballs surrounded in some fake red blood. The piece is held together by a thin layer of stretchy rubber. Once you pick the ball up you can squish it around and feel the eyeballs moving around in your hand. Honestly there is really nothing else to do with the ball besides that. Kids could play catch and all, but honestly it's more of a neat piece to add to the counter, or next to a food dish at your Halloween bash.
For only $1.00, it's worth it because it's neat to look at, and neat to squish in your palms. Each ball comes packed with about 10 to 15 eyeballs. Eyeball color is blue, however I have seen them in green as well.
They also make for neat party favors for children who attend your Halloween party. Stick one of these in a goodie back with some tootsie rolls, and everyone is happy.
Where to find the Icky Yicky Eyeballs:
I found mine last year at Dollar Tree. However you can also purchase the ball at www.sillyasstoys.com for $5.95. That is way higher than picking them up at dollar stores, so I recommend you do so.
These very same balls also come filled with maggots, bugs, earthworms, and body parts. If you are able to find them at local dollar stores I recommend you pick up a few of them.
Pros:
-They are cheap if you find them at dollar stores.
-Make for excellent goodie bag favors
-Looks neat when placed next to a food dish at your Halloween party
-Can relieve stress
Cons:
-May not be at your local dollar store, so you may end up spending more money for them
-Can break with too much use. The outer clear rubber is thin, and if squeezed too hard it will break
-The red dye inside of the ball can stain clothing and furniture if the ball breaks open
