Super Elastic Bubble Plastic

History Daily

Chances are you’ve had the displeasure of blowing one of these super elastic bubble plastic balloons at least once in your life, and probably enjoyed it immensely too, right? But it doesn’t mean that these Wham-O giant colored plastic balloons weren’t good for you. Just one whiff of the smelly goo that comes out of the tube was proof enough that it couldn’t be good for you at all, yet you did it anyway cos heck, they’re actually really fun. Too bad it was made with horrific chemicals with noxious fumes that honestly, no kid should go near. It was discontinued in the 80s but you can bet that some sweat shop in a far of place in the world is still making them up to this very day.
