Bed bug tongs?

[flying_babyb]

Anyone know where I can buy just the 4 colors of tongs for under $20? TIA

Just in case anyone else is like I was! I'm bored so I googled. "Bed bugs" is a board game where each player needs a different color tongs. Apparently the game is from the early 80's.

I apparently am bored too because I was totally trying to figure this out. I thought maybe there was a typo in the OP. Thanks

.....And I was searching my brain to figure out why you would want tongs for bedbugs, instead of insecticide!

and you don't want to know what was going thru my mind I really thought they made tongs to catch them and they came in assorted colors.... ok so I am blonde and have my moments at times.. and it is late...and I am tired. I guess that is my sign to get off the computer and go to bed..

I do not need the bed bug tongs, I don't have any bed bugs.... but if I did and were ordering I would order the assorment of 4 colors too....

Most good will stores have old games toys from the 80s. I have been known to buy the whole game at the good will store if I only need specific parts to it .

Heres how tired I am... I thought it said Bed Bug Thongs

It's not even that early for me, but I also was thinking it's strange to want tongs to catch bedbugs. I kind of thought they may be sandals. Are some sandals called Tongs or am I out of my mind here

This is what I was thinking too LOL! I thought "really? some one is going to catch bed bugs with special tongs? Then what do they do with them?"

Glad to see everyone was just as confused as I. New to this board and was a little worried as to what I was getting myself info.

Bed bugs? What are they doing with those? LOL

All I could think when I read the title was Oh! No! Another bed bug thread! The bug-o-phobes are going have a field day.

But now that you mention it I think I remember that there was a game of that title. Oh no am I that old.

Me too! We leave home in a week & I'm getting a little freaked out about the bedbug talk, the snake sightings, the risk of swine flu, etc..... So, I'm THRILLED to know I'm not going to have to buy a special set of tongs to rid my POP beds of bugs! (I thought they might be color-coded to catch different types/ages of bedbugs or something?) Yep, I'm redheaded, but I was born strawberry BLONDE!
