*Wubble Bubble*

The Wubble Bubble is a fun and innovative way of combining a bouncy ball and a bubble. This product has been a highly demanded product that has been sold out of stores since the commercial.

I am a middle school girl that likes to play sports and always looks for a new and great way to cure boredom. I got this product for Christmas 2014 after trying to research if it worked or was a total flop. After seeing the reviews, I decided it looked decent and wanted to get it either for Christmas or just at a regular store like Target. When I see “as seen on TV” products, I always wonder if they work because the ads make them look spectacular even if they are not all that they seem.

When I got the package I was elated to see that all the pieces were there and not missing. The sealed box included the actual rubber bubble, a pump, measuring tape, deflation tool, and an easy and followable instructions. After quickly skimming through the instructions, it looked easy enough to figure out. I first inserted the bubble into the nozzle which started to release air into without it breaking down or any other complications. After using the measuring tool to figure out when to stop the pump, the bubble reached the expected size, 3 feet. The bubble had a light hue of pink as pictured on the website and made that “wubble” sound. It was squishy and when it floated, it looked exactly like a real bubble that you would blow out of a bubble wand in the summer and watch float up to the sky.

After playing around inside, I decided to take it outside so the ball had more space and was not limited with how far it could bounce and fly. I checked on the website to see that it was allowed to go outside which it responded with, “You can play with your Wubble inside or outside”. I took it outside and had a great time tossing it up into the air and bouncing it higher and higher. I was also surprised how resilient it was when I was able to stick my arm through and watch it return back to its original shape when I took my arm out. I then decided to test the durability by sitting on it, which I was afraid to do. I slowly sat on it, making sure I was gingerly, and stayed on for a couple of seconds. I soon found myself sitting on the ground with a bubble that was not popped, just like a real one! ¨Was this supposed to happen?¨ I thought. I was flabbergasted because after a bit of searching, it said the weight capacity was 200 pounds and even with a bit of searching, I didn't find any sharp objects it could have popped on.

Overall, I would give this product a 3 out of 5 stars because even though it was enjoying, it still lacked in durability. Some of the pros include it being a fun toy that you can play with for hours. It also includes a lifetime guarantee and is true to size and colour.Some of the cons are that it lacks in durability and after a while of playing, it had some abrasion where the skin seemed to be thinner. I think this product was worth 75% worth of the cost which is 15 out of the $20. So in the end, this is what I think about the ¨as seen on TV” product, the Wubble Bubble.
