Coloured bubbles

Lifestyle & Leisure Published on 10 January 2007 in Lifestyle & Leisure

Technological advancements don't always have to be useful or change the world in a profound and meaningful way. Sometimes, they can just be fun. Like colored bubbles. A world's first, Zubbles are the result of 10 years of kitchen sink experiments by chemist Tim Kehoe, VP of R&D at product design firm Ascadia.

The bubbles work just like ordinary blowing bubbles, but come in rich, vibrant colors that are nearly opaque. The color is created with patented specialty dyes that disappear when exposed to air, water or pressure, and are non-staining and non-toxic. Announced in 2005 and awarded a Popular Science award the same year, Zubbles colored bubbles will finally be making their way to stores this spring.

Retailers: if you're interested in distributing Zubbles, please visit global license holder Spin Master's website to complete their distribution application. Should be a big hit in summer 2007 ;-) And since bubbles bring out the delighted child in everyone, events organizers might want to add Zubbles to their bag of tricks for summer events.

Comments on this idea:

Zubbles is a hoax.

I agree. they're what we call "vaporware" in the software industry. Lots of cool promises and flashy ideas, but they never materialize... First it was going to be '06, then "spring of 07" then "spring of 08" now it says Spring '07 on their website again. What a bunch of BS. Oh, and just TRY calling either Ascadia or Spinmaster trying to get one WORD of information. You'll never get a human on the phone.
