"Pickled punks" are the fetuses in jars that really bring in the crowds. We won a free three day stay at the Philly Ritz Carlton from my wife's work back in 2004, so I eagerly anticipated a visit to the Mutter to see these little runts. I was not disappointed. It was a horror movie brought to life. They had a special exhibit on infectious diseases which convinced me that I had smallpox by the end of the tour. Oddly, I had scalded my hands on some hot tar at work the day before we left for Philly(again, don't ask). They were all blistery and red. I should have shaken one of the employees hands and asked them if they knew what condition I was suffering from.
The only downer is the gift shop. The extent of cool things to buy are little rubber skeleton keychains. I thought for sure they'd have something more gruesome for purchase. I highly recommend going here when in Philly.
