It looks like EVE serum hypodermic needles throughout the city of Rapture in the game Bioshock, it glows like the serum thanks to LEDs, and it’s even priced similarly to what you would pay at a Circus of Value vending machine—but I wouldn’t go sticking it into your arm thinking that you are going to get any super powers. Maybe a staph infection, but definitely no super powers.
If you are tired of running Sonic around in video games, you can use this racing set to pit him against Tails in a live action race. There is no real Super Sonic action to him, but if you time him getting to the crossover at the same time as Tails, something will go flying across the room. Not quite the same, but as good as it gets.

This game is supposed to be fun because one partner will be laying on the sheet while the other has to dance to the instructions. Supposedly the moves they are forced to perform will all be a turn on. Of course it could also lead to one person being injured by their partner’s not so coordinated dancing or a sight that is just not pretty. Come to think of it, there is probably an 80% chance of that based on the lame moves you see the large majority of people trying. Some call it public dancing, I think it looks more like public humiliation.
