"No spill," my ass.




These would have better been called,
"No Bubbles, No Fun, No Dice, Mama."

Damn $5.99 end-cap teases.

Really? They don't work at all or they spilled? My kids have (non-Backyardigans) some like these and love them. Although I'm sure that K-man was able to spill some too.

Yeah, I call these the 'spill less than the regular bottle' bubbles. If Princess is simply blowing bubbles and accidentally knocks it over most spillage is prevented.

But if the object of her activity is to dump the bubbles out of the bottle then there will still be a mess.

Plus, the wands still drip and make a mess.

My kids manage to spill every bottle of bubble stuff they get, no matter how "spill proof" the bottle proclaims itself to be. I think there is some disgruntled bubble stuff employee out there who loosens all the bottles or puts micro holes in that damn metal thingy on top that is so freakin' hard to tear off. Yeah that guy. I don't like that guy...

I'm a bad, bad momma. I refuse to buy bubbles of any kind- ever. Because I know that they will spill.

I will, however, buy bubbles and take them to grandma's house.

I guess I'm a bad, bad daughter too.
