In the early twentieth century the boll weevil invaded the United States, destroying cotton fields as he swept northward from Texas. Cotton's only natural enemy, the boll weevil destroyed 70% of South Carolina's cotton crop in two years and terrorized cotton farmers until eradication programs took hold in the mid 1970's. Today, only a bare minimum of boll weevils can be found in South Carolina and the state is considered to be "Weevil Free."
Since being chased from the cotton fields, boll weevils have chosen a new
occupation. As graduates of the Boll Weevil University School of Computer
Sciences, these weevils sit near your computer and protect it from any harmful
computer viruses! Once more you can feel safe in the electronic world, knowing
a highly trained BOLL WEEVIL guards your vital information. Standing
approximately 4 1/2 inches (11.43 cm) tall, our "fighting weevils" retail
for $4.00.
