I think you're talking about Super Elastic Bubble Plastic.

You're not the only one it didn't work for. One woman blogged about how much she cried when it didn't do as advertised.

Just as a side note: Wiki says, "Chemically, the bubbles contained polyvinyl acetate dissolved in acetone, with plastic fortifiers added. Besides the obvious potential for messes when letting children play with liquid plastic, the substance also emitted noxious fumes. The fumes could become concentrated inside the straw, so users had to be careful never to inhale through the straw while inflating their balloons."

Maybe this is the reason for your memory and spelling issues at such a young age as yourself? j/k

Don't fret, Diva. I laughed so at these posts that I started wheezing. While I took a plug on the inhaled, I thought of Geezer Wheezer.

A person could get high off the fumes from trying to make that balloon
Not to mention how sore your cheeks got from trying to form said balloon

I opened the package and my mom came running into my room and snatched it outta my hands. She was a nurse. Needless to say drugs were never an issue growing up.

Some of the prizes in the Cracker Jack boxes were pretty crappy.

Really good to know. I had thought about buying one of these, too.

Now I am sure that a load of ya will find this useful.

Dude, I think that for this game to work you have to give the name of the product/brand. Was it Walgreen's brand or another brand?

Yep, total rip-off. I tried to raise mine in the bathtub. My mother was not pleased.

I had to order these on the sly. Another waste of hard-earned allowance money.

durrrrrr, what did you use to remove/buff the wax? Could it have been the cloth that made the scratches? Always Microfiber!

Recently, I used some Mother's sealant (Sorry, Stearns, don't know how to post pics), and it was terrible to try to get off the car. I was so glad I did a general test area, first. Usually I never use Mother's and it was sitting around for a year, never used, so maybe that was the problem.

durrrrr, If you want to get that wax off and fix the very slight scratches, try using this stuff: http://www.autogeek.net/wg2000.html and then rewax with something else.

<---wondering if anyone would actually post on a car detailing thread if I started one.

I LOVED this shit...and personally, I was damn good at it! The secret was in how you put the blob of goop onto the straw.

Danm! The x-ray glasses don't work! Phooey!

Oh, geez. A goodie do-right. Dap, my bro, what rules? And, given the admittedly geezer status, do you expect me to remember the name of an infants nasal snot sucker? Hell, I did good just remembering that bit.
Where's my cane? Blasted young whipper snapper. Of. I should be careful about mentioning canes around here!
J/K, Dapper.

Too bad they took it off the market because of all the kids like (I won't mention any names, waxnrope, , were getting high off it. You coulda given lessons to all the SuperElasticBubblePlastic failures, uh, consumers, uh, buyers.
