Earlier today I asked you to tell me which of the following items are real listings on Etsy, and which ones we made up. We have thoroughly enjoyed your guesses, and the tortured logic you’ve been using to make your decisions.

Here are your best guesses, and the correct answers.

1. 100 SEED PODS

“>

YOUR GUESSES:

“Etsy because ‘porjects?’ Come on.”

“The mispelling almost threw me off, but April wouldnt go that far from the couch to collect”

“‘Earth magic ceremonies’ isn’t a faerie-enough description.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

2. CLINIQUE MAGNETS

YOUR GUESSES:

“Regretsy, because they are way under-priced.”

“Clinique Magnets?? Nice work, Helen!”

“Etsy. Gluing shit to other shit is the Etsy wheelhouse, dawg.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

3. POST MODERN SCULPTURE

YOUR GUESSES:

“Please god, let the ‘post’ “sculpture” be fake.”

“Regretsy. it just has to be.”

“Etsy, because that is just ridiculous enough to be something on there.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

4. FEATHER AND MASON JAR

YOUR GUESSES:

“The use of barn wood makes me think this is Regretsy.”

“Regretsy; there is no ‘front page’ badge”

“Etsy, look at that picture! Totally cupcakey, creamy, yummy whatever *blech*”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

5. BATH CADDY

YOUR GUESSES:

“Christ I hope it’s Regretsy, but I really, really fear it’s Etsy.”

“Etsy. When you have to fit the item yourself, it has to be Etsy.”

“Regretsy, it’s a board.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

6. EDWARD CULLEN’S ASHES

YOUR GUESSES:

“I can see that this, at least, is some Regretsy Trickery. It is OBVIOUSLY Rip Taylor’s semen!”

“The ashes have got to be Regretsy. No Etsy seller would have that much of a sense of humor when it comes to Twilight paraphernalia.”

“Too obvious for Regretsy. Sadly, I believe this is real.”

AND THE ANSWER IS…

Thanks for playing!

It’s time to play…

Here’s how this works:

At least one of these things is a real listing on Etsy. At least one of these things was completely invented by us.

The question is, which is the Etsy, and which is the Regretsy?

Make your best guesses in the comments, but don’t cheat (if you do cheat, don’t post spoilers).

Answers will be posted in a few hours.
