But perhaps the bigger question is why? I mean I like the tiny swords too. They fascinated me as a youth walking through the grocery store, but now I wonder who decided, “Hey, I’m tired of using tooth picks to hold my maraschino cherries I need something cooler, something more exotic, and I don’t mean those little paper umbrellas (they are too feminine),” and then went on to invent the multicolor, transparent, plastic rapier.
Why were these things invented, why? Oh wait, never mind I figured it out.
Someone wanted discount giant lego swords!
