Zubbles!

A couple of years ago, I remember reading on Popular Science (online) about a fellow who was trying to create colored bubbles. Simple, right? One would think. All you need to do is add food coloring to your bubble mixure. Herein lies the problem: when the bubble bursts, it stains, gets messy, etc. As a mom to a toddler, I could use a lot less of that. Not only that, the color doesn't really "stick" properly to the bubbles, it tends to run down to the bottom of the bubbles. At least, that is according to Tim Kehoe,, inventor of Zubbles.

It's been a couple of years since I read the article (you can read it here). And I was hoping to see it hit the market by now. Sadly, it's still not being distributed. I wonder why? According the the Zubbles website, the bubbles have disappearing ink, so when they pop, they don't leave an awful mess.

I so want these! They look utterly fascinating. I don't think I could ever get tired of bubbles. There is something about them that bring out the childhood awe and wonder in all of us.

I can't wait for these to finally hit the market.
