JA-RU Bloonies Magic Plastic Bubbles Balloons Variety Pack (8 Tubes per Pack)| Kids Super Elastic | Blow Up Balloons with Straw | Party Favors and Gifts Fidget Toy. 774-1A

These are really fun!! There is a bit of learning curve to blowing, but once that is mastered, the easier it gets. I do have to get the balloons started for my younger grandchildren, but then they can blow them the rest of the way up. I find the larger glob you start with, the easier to blow a bigger balloon. I find it best to start with a strong puff of air to start and then you can blow easily after. If you listen you can hear the ‘leaks’ as you are blowing. Just pinch them together and you can keep blowing.If you mix colors, mix fairly large amounts and roll them together well before putting out on the straw.These bring back tons of fun memories from my childhood. They are inexpensive and fun.Keep in mind that each balloon only lasts a few minutes, but popping and squeezing all the air out each one, to get all the bubbles out, is part of the fun!!!

Tons of fun with the kids.

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

So much fun! East to stick together to make fun animals. Can make small or big bubbles. Reminds me of my childhood. Smells like straight fuel though!! So strong you can taste it.

Great item compares to original super elastic bubble plastic.

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.

I was barely able to even blow one not small. Most of the time it won't even work or it just pops to quickly when it starts to inflate. I tried blowing not to hard or too easy, but it still didn't budge. It's almost like you have to be lucky enough to get it to work. I do not recommend this. If you're looking for balloon fun, I suggest you get other stuff that is not like this product and will actually work very often or all the time.

Brought back so many childhood memories. My children had just as much fun as I did at that age
