beeboo® Big Bubbles

This is my all time favorite picture of a beeboo® Big Bubble:

Sometimes the best things in life just happen. That’s the way things occurred the day my son and I just “happened” to get this great picture of a huge, monstrous, beeboo® Big Bubble.

It just happened to be one of those perfect days weather wise for creating big bubbles. There was a perfect breeze, the air was clean, the sun was setting and the humidity was ideal. Instead of using homemade bubble solution, we were using beeboo® Big Bubble Mix, the same product we used at Extreme Bubbles to set the first world record for largest free floating soap bubble.

We were also using our beeboo® Big Bubble PRO Wand along with beeboo® Big Bubble Mix. Time after time, we kept creating these huge, colorful soap bubbles. We kept letting the big bubble tube grow longer and longer each time, before taking the two handles of the big bubble wand back to the closed position, so the big bubble would release and float through the air. And of course each time the bubble would get bigger. What was really amazing that day was that the big bubbles lasted an incredibly long time. The big bubble colors were absolutely vibrant and the colors didn’t seem to fade either.

All the neighbors, along the entire length of the street were having so much fun watching the gigantic big bubbles float by their front yards.

I went to get our camera. I just wanted to see if I could capture one of these monster big bubbles on a digital image. I wanted to see if it looked as impressive on a digital image as it did in real life. While my son kept busting out these big bubbles, one right after another, I started taking pictures. After a few shots, we reviewed what was on the camera. We were totally un-impressed. Although the big bubbles were beautiful, and the vibrant bubble colors were excellent, you really couldn’t tell how big these bubbles were. There was nothing in the picture that you could use to compare or judge the size of the big bubbles. There was no perspective.

About that time, my neighbor Brenda was driving home from work. She actually had to swerve her vehicle to get by the big bubbles floating down the street without bursting them. The look on her face as she drove by was total amazement. She had never seen bubbles this big.

As soon as she parked her truck in her driveway, she came running down the street exclaiming; “I’ve never seen bubbles this big!” It was just at that very moment my son made the biggest bubble of the day. It started drifting right toward Brenda. I was across the street from Brenda with the camera and I yelled out to Brenda; “Get behind the bubble and hold your arms straight out to either side!” I snapped the picture and this is the result.

Bug bubbles are fleeting moments of pure joy and ecstasy. We just happened to capture the magnitude of the big bubble, the beautiful colors of the big bubble and the pure joy and amazement of the moment. I love the expression on Brenda’s face. That pretty much says it all.

Big bubbles are fun and exciting and good for the soul. That’s why our corporate mission statement at Extreme Bubbles, Inc. includes the phrase: “Making the world a better place, with bubbles.”

Secrets For Bouncing Bubbles

Friday, May 13th, 2011

The current World Record for bouncing a bubble is 38 times. Extreme Bubbles, Inc. newest product Captain Bubbles™ is so robust we broke the world record on the first take of our bouncing bubble video, 44 times! Set your own world record, order Captain Bubbles™ today.

Try this at home. Get a cotton glove and then blow some Captain Bubbles™. Use your gloved hand to see how many times you can bounce a Captain Bubbles™ bubble. You can make a game of it to see who can bounce a bubble the most times. It’s really fun to do.

Secrets for bouncing bubbles:

1)      First, use Captain Bubbles™ premium, classic, ready to use small bubble solution for your bouncing bubble fun. Our new bubble solution is really good for blowing lots of little bubbles. The bubbles have beautiful colors, the bubble colors last a really long time, and the bubbles themselves last a long time too. Some of the bubbles that land on the ground don’t pop. Amazing stuff!

2)      Next, a cotton glove works best. In our bouncing bubble video, I used a cotton/poly blend glove and it seemed to work very well. After all, we broke the world record on our first attempt! Others who are bubble bouncing experts, including bubble artists and bubble entertainers, all agree a 100% cotton glove works best.

3)      Third, you may want to apply one to two drops of tap water, apply to the palm of the glove, and then rub it in all over the palm. This seems to help bouncing the bubble. I’m not sure why, but I think it may have to do with getting rid of any static electricity from the cotton glove surface. If there is any static electricity on the cotton glove, the bubble will tend to stick to the glove surface, rather than bounce.

4)      Fourth, blow a few bubbles with your Captain Bubbles™ solution. Blow three or four in a row, just like in our video. A soap film will remain within the ring of the plastic wand. After blowing a few small bubbles, slowly blow a larger bubble, about the size of a baseball. This is the perfect size bubble for bouncing. Once you have a baseball size bubble formed on the bubble toy’s plastic wand, release the bubble with just a small flick of your wrist. The larger bubble will release from the bubble toy and float through the air.

5)      Fifth, gently position your gloved hand, palm up, under the descending bubble. As the soap bubble begins to approach the palm of your gloved hand, gently, but firmly lift your palm in an upward motion to make contact with the bubble you are about to bounce.

6)      Just like magic, the bubble bounces upwards, rather than popping.

Captain Bubbles™ is a premium, classic, ready to use small bubble solution, made in America. Each container is four fluid ounces and comes complete with a high quality plastic wand. Captain Bubbles™ produces lots of bubbles with beautiful colors that last a long time. Some will sit on the ground before popping. Captain Bubbles™ also works great in bubble machines, bubble guns and many other bubble toys.

Why invent a new ready to use, small bubble recipe? The driving force was all the emails and phone calls received from customers who purchased bubble toys, bubble guns, bubble makers, bubble machines, kid’s bubbles, soap bubbles, and bubble solutions of every description at mass retail stores that didn’t work.

After much research and development and many field trials, the combination of secret bubble ingredients became a reality in Captain Bubbles™.

Try Captain Bubbles™ today. Let’s make bubbles!

Extreme Bubbles Toy Fair 2011

New: Captain Bubbles™

Captain Bubbles™ is a premium, ready to use small bubble solution, made in America. Over the years we have had a tremendous amount of inquiries and requests for development of this product.

I’ve often thought of writing a blog, or creating a video blog about “Bubbles That Don’t Work”! It’s amazing to me the large number of bubble toys and bubble solutions available at mass retail today that literally “Do Not Work”. I’ve got some really great ideas for a video blog. How about you?

Captain Bubbles™ to the rescue! OR “Save us Captain Bubbles, you’re our only soap!”

Captain Bubbles™ premium bubble solution will make tons of bubbles when you use a regular plastic, hand held wand. It is also designed to be used in various kinds of bubble machines. This is actually a very tough assignment, as some products work OK with a hand held plastic wand, but they don’t work well at all in a bubble machine.

The challenge is velocity. First of all, when people blow bubbles with a hand held plastic wand, you have as many techniques for blowing bubbles as there are people! Some blow a steam of air very softly. Some, especially children, blow really hard and really fast! Many bubble machines use the same philosophy; blow a really hard, fast stream of air for maximum bubble output. That is all well and good, but it makes formulating a ready to use bubble solution for both applications especially challenging. Captain Bubbles™ will excel in both applications. How cool is that?

Captain Bubbles™ is a great new bubble solution, but he’s a new superhero too!

His superpowers will be focused, of course, on making the world a better place and getting rid of the bad guys. His superhero powers include:

  • Creating powerful bursts of bubbles. The flows of bubbles are used to confound the bad guys, and the bubbles themselves have a happy effect on bad guys. This makes the bad guys want to be happy and to do good.
  • Captain Bubbles™ can fly in a big bubble.
  • He can fly by making bubbles shoot out of his boots in a powerful stream, jetting him around the universe at supersonic speeds.
  • The bubble on his head is actually a helmet so he can go anywhere, like under water or up in space.
  • He can capture bad guys by creating big bubbles that envelop them and carry them off to a good or bad guy place, depending on the situation.

Customer Letter – beeboo® Big Bubble Mix

Thank you beeboo for creating and supplying such an excellent bubble mix! It is without a doubt one of the best mixes we have ever used in a science show. Every demonstration is received with gasps and ‘ooohs’; quite simply, the bubbles look amazing. beeboo Big Bubble Mix is easy to use, impressive to see in action, and (even for us big kids) lots of fun!

Also, thank you for the excellent customer service provided by the beeboo team – prompt and efficient communication, great service and all-round friendliness.

I compared your beeboo Big Bubble Mix with a home made bubble solution… and 4 commercial products… beeboo exceeded them all by far.

Customer Letter – beeboo® Big Bubble Mix

- Hello David,

During the holiday season at home in Europe, I compared your beeboo Big Bubble Mix with a home made bubble solution (Dawn ultra, water, glycerin) and 4 commercial products (inclusive Pustefix from Germany). The home made solution worked surprisingly well, better than most of the commercial products. However, beeboo exceeded them all by far. It resulted in the longest lasting, biggest, most colorful bubbles. The film thickness appeared to be more uniform and stable, and the moderate viscosity resulted in lower consumption than with some other solutions. Furthermore, the high concentrated beeboo stuff makes it very easy to prepare large quantities of solution wherever needed. Beeboo is certainly the best available product. You will find my order for another 4 bottles online. I will use it to entertain my grand kids and neighbor children in Belgium and in Mexico.

Thanks for a great product!
