Flu Fleur

Juniper Foo | Feb 23, 2005

It may sound Frenchie, but this gizmo can only be Japanese. Toymaker Tomy's Flu Fleur (read flower) appears to be both an alliteration and takeoff on the original Flip Flap (of which this journalist cheerfully owns one). However, rather than rely on light to propel the bunny-eared petals into frantic flapping, the Flu Fleur responds to sound to open and close its petals. It even glows in the dark. Lots of potty fun for your cubicle desk. Just remember not to water it.
