LOVE the underwater shots.

Interesting

Hi Pat.

space jellyfish?

If I understand/remember correctly, these weren't found in a Kokomo bag but were found with an empty Koko bag or a Koko label next to them.

That's a neat set.

Seems hard to come by. Anyone have pics?

I think there were some Koko articles in the WV newsletter but, sadly, I let my subscription lapse. And I haven't seen much original koko packaging. .... *leaves to go start a thread about that*

Likely Kokomos

I didn't catch any marble bouncing in this one but they mentioned adding sand, soda ash and feldspar for hardness and durability.
