Product Description
'Tweedlewheedle' is a living companion that works on its own. 'Tweedlewheedle' combines the genetic characteristics of super-sensitive mimosa, highly efficient tobacco, and cleverly treated human neurons. The capital messenger substances of a plant are mapped and delivered to your brain via tiny electronic impulses. Do not swallow! Main ingredients are tobacco and mimosa, which can cause diarrhea and short-term intoxication.

Technical Description
kokoromo', our all-in-one product, contains only the best mossy abilities. For this purpose, 'kokoromo' is engineered out of four special moss species in our synbio labs via complex knock-out treatments. This allows us to first target the particular skills required from the moss genes and to derive them from their genetical modules, so that a new moss type can be assembled in the final stage and synthesized by our treehugger-scientists.
