Mr.Bubble

[goraman]

I don't know if you guys have Mr.Bubble in the UK, but in the 60's it came in a huge pink box and just a little tiny bit of pink powder poured in the tub meant a mountain of bubbles!

I got some for my son in now a small bottle of liquid that was so weak it took half the bottle to get any bubbles at all.

So I did some online resurch only to find that the original formula caused blatter infections.

Damit Mr.Bubble thats why it burned to pee when I was little!

Something from my childhood that was so cool and fondly remembered.
Something so seemingly inocent,you wouldn't think could ever hurt anyone.

Never heard of it over here Jeff. Nearly lost the roof of my mouth with Space Dust (Pop Rocks?) though, trying to cram as many packs in as I could...

I remember someone got hurt in the 70's when they first came out,They where the coolest new thing and they really popped hard in your mouth.Not just the little crackle they do now,they where really drasticly reduced and renamed space dust then they came out as poprocks agein but still nothing close to what they where in 1976 and 77.
I remember they actually would sting your mouth when exploding.
