Bloonies Elastic Bubble Balloon Variety (1 Pack) 774-1A | Kids Super Elastic Blow Up Balloon Toy with Straw. Party Favors and Gifts Fidget Toy

My grandkids and I had so much fun. Brought great childhood memories

My kid loves these. His aunt blew up balloons for him and he was very careful with them. Provides quite a long time of entertainment. Even more fun if you place the balloon on top of an air purifier that puffs up air vertically so it keeps it in the air. Fairly durable. Slightly sticky but easy to clean. Can get it really big. Super fun

MY KIDS LOVE THESE. THEY LIKE TO BLOW THE BALLOONS AND THEN PLAY WITH THEM. THEY DONT POP SUPER EASY LIKE A REGULAR BUBBLE WOULD. AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT COLORS. JUST ROLL A LITTLE PUT IT ON THE END OF THE STRAW AND BLOW IT UP.. IT STICKS TO ITSELF TO CLOSE. SO MUCH FUN FOR KIDS, AND MYSELF INCLUDED.

Fun little Christmas stocking present. I wish it was cheaper bc it's a one time play thing.

Lots of fun for granddaughters , I had plastic bubbles when I was a kid and I’m 74

I'm totally unsure whether this is supposed to be impossible or if we just got a bad batch.... But it IS impossible. I didn't have these as a kid - super sheltered and all that. But I'd heard of them and since my daughter loves balls and balloons, I got this for her. She's only 2.5 so I'd fully intended to do it for her. Nope. I tried for two hours straight (I'm overly persistent) yet I didn't get a single successful "bubble"; every single one popped at under 10mm. I tried using less, more, stretching it over the edges of the straw - I even tried different Straws. I tried everything I could think of to make these work to no avail and a very, very sad toddler (since I, of course, made a huge deal about it, letting her open the "mail time" and all that). I opened every single tube just trying to get a single - even the absolute tiniest - of bubbles to work. We got so excited when one kind of came out, then SNAP! Considering the gleaming reviews.... I'm assuming this was just a bad batch. But I definitely will not be purchasing more to test this theory. Tbh I'd planned on buying one of those bloopsie (or whatever they're called - the cute animal toys that blow similar bubbles which you're then supposed to decorate like candy) for her, then saw these were significantly cheaper... But after this experience, that's an even harder pass on the temptingly cute animal characters. I'm frugal to a fault/really not a fan of wasting money - especially in today's economy. Even as little as $5 is kind of a big deal to me; it pays the gas for a trip to the playground. Needless to say that this was a huge disappointment. Obviously others have had better luck... But if you're like me with absolutely awful luck, I'd say pass on this. I'll also mention that I'm 30 years old... Not a child.

Brings back childhood memories … just like the old thing

As a child.. I guess I enjoyed it. Have a handful of memories about it. This is actually one of those items you don't see produced here in the US anymore. Perhaps it was due to it originally containing chemicals such as Acetone. I've only opened 2 tubes. The first one was junk. Perhaps air was left trapped inside during sealing or maybe it had a chance to hole in the container causing the contents to dry out. Kind of disappointed me cause the "blue" was going to be the closest to colorless in appearance. Sadly I did not find any of the inflatable plastic bubbles that were the original neutral clear. Anyway, this second tube works close to how the original but does not transition well for the close up/bar style magic effect. (I guess if I still went to bars, I would just allow the toxicity plaguing the patrons to be my smoke and mirrors) Aside from the initial failure... Even this second tube seems a bit dry. Inflation is difficult to do, well unless you are a politician. So recommend? No, unless you want a piece of nostalgia but know that it doesn't quite compare well to the original. It's worked the few times that I have used it for its reason for purchased. But the ones I bought not too many years ago was a bit better overall and a lot better for my other uses.
