Thoughts?
These garlic 3" objets d'art showed up as part of the Jewcy Store shipment. Made by the Israeli artist Anat Basanta and stocked with a garlic clove, they are quite cute. But I couldn't figure how garlic fits in a Judaica shop. I Googled "garlic Judaism" and found a pretty amusing entry by Rabbi Steve Gindi (no vouch for accuracy):
"Our Rabbis of Blessed memory have stated that there are five benefits for those who eat garlic: it satisfies one’s hunger, it warms the body, brightens the face, increases semen and kills stomach lice. Some say that garlic increases love and removes jealousy. (Baba Kama 82a)" Ships in 1-2 days.
