Free for valentines weekend! cupid's love tester harkens back to that bygone era when penny amusements could be found while strolling along the boardwalks of seaside resorts. this recreation faithfully reproduces one of those 'high tech' marvels of yesteryear—right in the palm of your hand. simply touch the pulsing 'heart gem' to bring this curious machine to life. a cacophony of colorful lights and sounds wind down to the curious results. our crack team of field testers found this simple amusement to be oddly addictive. some swear that keeping one's finger on the heart gem produces a truer result. (hmmm...we're not sure about that.) others think it best for both parties to touch the heart together. how sweet (and a little sneaky, too). at pubs, coffeehouses and restaurants we found single folk—from the all-too-gregarious to the terminally shy—testing their sexual compatibility with total strangers. sometimes to hilarious results. (you'll have to use your imagination here because some of the episodes we witnessed were, um, shall we say r rated.) with disarming innocence cupid's love tester proves to be a sassy little ice-breaker and...excuse me. miss? could you touch this little heart? yes, right here...
