Zubbles Changes the Face of Bubble Blowing
Rose Nazarali — July 15, 2009 — Life-Stages
A man has spent 10 years and more than £2 million to create this colorful set of bubbles.
Zubbles creator, Tim Kehoe, designed a special dye that sticks to the bubbles until they pop and can stain for 15 minutes, giving parents a scare when these splashtastic bubbles hit their perfectly white linens.
Zubbles launched in the US earlier this month and will soon hit stores in the UK.
Implications - Modern consumers who face many new stresses each day desire ways for some sort of relief. Products featuring a whimsical element are appealing to those who want an entertainment while completing their everyday tasks. Companies trying to increase their popularity could focus on this.
