Works perfectly just like how it used to be!

Makes me feel like I’m in 2005 again

The nostalgia the smell brought me!Played with these as a kid and was too excited to play with it again. Takes a minute to get the hang of it. But super fun!

I used to play with these all the time as a child. I have never been able to find them until now. I’m so happy to share this with my kids. These are super fun. The kids love them. My only complaint is that they will stain anything they touch - fingernails, carpet, sidewalk.

Fun

Pops easily

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.

Just like I remembered when I was a kid!! And my nieces and nephew were so happy and excited! So worth it
