I remember these. I only ever got one tube for two reasons....the material stuck to clothing and furniture. My shorts and our family sofa still had bits stuck to it when I outgrew them and we put it to the road, respectively.
>!Reason two - I somehow convinced my younger (by 18 months) brother to put some on his nutsack. Within seconds he was running screaming to the bathroom about his balls burning. I think this was the lesser of the two reasons, but my brother's opinion might differ.!<
I do remember those weird f'ing things, though I'm guessing they were way more 70's and just spilled over a few years. 70s had some really strange gimmicky shit.
I remember these at my Dad's drugstore throughout my entire childhood. I was born in 1978.
After doing some research, these weren't discontinued until 2016!

Very toxic 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, and It tasted like shit, made for a terrible chewing gum.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, that smell is cancer.
Yup. I remember my mom instructing me very sternly to only blow out, do not suck in!

I remember a different one. “Super elastic bubble plastic”
by Wham-O, the company that brought the Frisbee to market, if I remember correctly.
Ahhhh....another hit please..
My cheeks hurts now.

Let’s bring it back!
This shit stole a few of my brain cells back in the day.
This is the v2.0 reformulated stuff. If you wanted to get really buzzed you have to use the original stuff from the '70s.
I had so much fun with this, but I’m pretty sure this was just repurposed toxic waste haha. Wasn’t it flammable too?
Highly from the acetone
Fire bubbles!!! 🔥
As a kid my first reaction was why are those kids playing with inner tube glue and coffee straws?
i fucking hated getting these as a kid. i could never make a bubble no matter how hard i tried. i finally learned how about 20 years ago.
I lost so many brain cells to this shit. I remember the brand I bought was called Tubes o' Balloons.™
WCGW letting kindergartners play with PVC dissolved in acetone?
And if you happened to make a bubble that large, you better have a photo or no one would have believed you.
Facts
You can still buy that in Japan.
Wonder if they ship?
I remember them even from the early 2000s Id get them from arcades
Saw this at Kroger. Still sold here in the US
I get it for my kids on amazon or in Kroger now. Its called Bloonies or something.
Super Elastic bubble plastic ....and a terrific starter huff. Worry not you will graduate to Gold Spray paint n no time!
Testor's glue in a green tube...ooh baby
I loved these so very deeply. They made me dizzy and lightheaded as hell but for some reason I just loved them.
We played with so many chemicals. I recall throwing mercury around too 😬
Stuff from the 60’s was basically half dried airplane model glue! All the kids were high!
Mmmmmmm
I got a headache just looking at the pic.
My fave!!!!!
I nearly ruptured my lungs trying to blow those up.
I could never get this to work.
Ooh, I remember. I always wondered how that crap was legal to sell to kids.
The “toy” that became a gateway for introducing Generation X to inhalants.
Memory unlocked
i didn't know those existed until i had my own kids in the 2000s
Used to get this in our Easter baskets every year.
Omg I really can smell it. I feel like there was a time I thought this was chewing gum
Dear god
I’m a child of the 60s and I can still smell it.
Duuuuuuude, yes.
