BUBBLE THING Big Bubbles Mix | Concentrate Makes 5.4 Gallons Giant Bubble Solution for Kids All Ages | Certified Non Toxic | Refills Giant Bubble Wands, Toys, Makers

I am a true bubble lover. I have invested in numerous bubble guns, 1 nice bubble blowing machine, Wands, pans, more Dawn dish soap than is required for washing dishes and carry bubbles in my purse- the magic touchable kind. Feeling stressed? Take a break and blow some bubbles. It's hard to be mad about work when you're surrounded by bubbles.I bought a bottle of this solution some time ago and finally had a chance to utilize over the Easter weekend. It is fantastic! Not sure what all is in it but it seems to work as well as if not better than plain glycerin? I'm not certain but I do like the fact it is a powder and does no seem to lose its magic over time as other bubble stuff will do- fickle bubble stuff!This bottle has already made us 4 awesome gallons of bubbles! When I say awesome- I mean TERRIFIC. So happy with how many bubbles I get, how long the bubbles last and the size of the bubbles. Alas, I did not get a 12 foot bubble though we all tried. We did get very large bubbles though. Multiple bubbles the size of basketballs plus. We live on over an acre and our neighbors enjoyed the bubbles too as they drifted on over.We had the bubble machine going and a large pan in the yard with several large wands so everyone could participate. The neighbors came over and adults as well as children were able to make bubbles and it was ... really cool.I will buy this product again!Easy to use- I took an empty gallon milk jug, filled it about half way with almost hot water, added 2 tablespoons of this special bubble product, mixed, added a cup of Dawn (the good stuff used to help wildlife injured in oil spills- Dawn is the best) mixed gently and then filled my jug the rest of the way. Can be used immediately but the next day is even better. Very enjoyable, easy.

Not an accurate scientific experiment by any means, but we tested both products three times. This product did a better job producing those REALLY BIG BUBBLES, in my opinion. As far as the regular sized bubbles, I felt this mix only had a slight edge of Gazillion... if any.For me, the cost savings of this DIY mix wasn't as important. It is a nice bonus of course. But I was more concerned about the inconvenience of having to make it and the possibility of me forgetting to make this mix up ahead of time. But because it brings my kids so much joy and I am really happy with this product, I think it will continue to be a pleasure to make this mix for them in the future.We tested this BubbleThing mix and the pre-made Gazillion bubble solution three times each. We used two wands. The Gazillion "Incredibubble" Wand (one BIG circle, about the size of a dinner plate) -AND- the "Incredibubble Multiple Bubble Wand" (which has dozens of hoops spread like peacock feathers). Both wands incredibly awesome, but they use tons and tons of bubble solution. Like12 oz per outing for just two kids! So Gazillion could add up quickly if your kids are bubbleaholics like mine are.

Mixed this up with blue Dawn and hot water and one gallon lasted all afternoon with several different people using three wands. Everyone enjoyed making and watching the huge, colorful bubbles float around the lake. This worked, was easy to use and will be packed to head off with us for our beach vacation. Kids and adults love making these bubbles. Huge hit!Update: This is worth every penny!! Took it on our beach vacation and it was honestly like a kid magnet for boys and girls alike. Amazed at how often they were out on the deck making and chasing bubbles. When we returned we had a family picnic planned and the kids made sure I was bringing the bubbles. A gallon goes along way and I definitely got the 5.4 gallons out of this small bottle of mix so it's not that pricey in the long run plus it works as advertised!!!

It took a few "dip and blow" attempts to get a giant bubble (or a bubble!), but it does make them!I haven't tried it outside yet but at home with the windows open and I blew some amazing bubbles with a wand! (Not the Bubble thingy). Big mess in the floor of course (sticky!).Bubble pop in a matter of 3 to 4 seconds which is much longer than Gazillion (pops in 1 second). But I was expecting longer.I had 69% humidity and 70F temperature.I'll edit this review after Saturday depending on how good it goes at the park!I'm posting a video of today ;-)Edit: I tried it out and it was fantastic, I used the same wand and blew gigantic bubbles, kids were amazed by it and all of the moms at the playground where asking about it.I'll be buying more this spring! I used it in the middle of October 2013 in Boston (so that you can have an idea how the weather was).
