What do you do about your compulsions? Do you supress them, or do you let them flow and feel better, while driving crazy all people around you? Well, if you don’t do anything, there are people who study them closely, trying to understand and to fulfill human needs. One such need, very amusing and addictive, is to pop little plastic bubbles from bubble wrap. I can’t wait to get a new gadget, so I can pop a little bit, to the desperation of my family.
With the new infinite bubble wrap toy, PuchiPuchi, you’ll be able to pop bubbles until boredom, because they never end. Besides, you can do it everywhere, and have fun. Every 100 “pops” will give you a random sound including “door chime”, “barking dog”, “sexy voice”, a “fart” noise, and more! As an added bonus, among every 1000 pieces is a “puchi lucky” toy with a heart-shaped bubble.
Why PuchiPuchi? Because this is the Japanese word for the sound of popping bubbles.
Produced by Bandai, the PuchiPuchi virtual bubble wrap toy can be pre-ordered for $59.00 a pack of five, in different colors: black, white, orange, blue, and pink.
The toy is operated by two LR41 batteries (included), weights 25g and it will be in stock on Monday 29 October, 2007. Until then, Bandai would take pre-orders from compulsive people like me and you.
So, would you PuchiPuchi?
Haha, this is nice! I was doing this like last week while moving from the previous house to this one. This would also make a very good gift!
Thanks for bringing this up: going to bookmark it. 🙂
Also, according to the original Japanese site, it will be available for sale, including in Japan, on September 22nd. I wonder when or how it will be available in other countries. I will have to start asking at the different Japanese toy stores here to see if they know anything about it.
It was my pleasure, Bes. You can be sure I’m going to order some. All my friends do that, and even my mother has a pleasure in popping bubbles (and she’s almost 70) 🙂
This will be the perfect thing to give away at office parties. Nail clippers and burnt-popcorn makers beware; I shall have my revenge.
On the site where I found it, they gave October 29th as first availablility date. I suppose it will spread fast.
Ronald, this will be a very nice revenge 🙂
Haha, looks like a nice and funny stress toy! I am not a big fan of popping, but I’d play with it a couple of times.
Take care, Alina! This is how addiction starts: pop a couple of times today, and you won’t be able to stop tomorrow! 😆
It keeps amazing me what ideas people come with… In the future, we’re are going to get a toy for anything we can do, well, even for anything we can just THINK about…
Looking forward to a “blogging toy” that would ease a blogging habit 😉
Yes, or some toy to help us wake up early 😉
