Super "Miracle" Bubbles

For my three year old, Lucas', birthday this year, while searching the toy isles of Wal-Mart, I found a six pack of bubbles. They were cheap and there were multiple bottles so he could share with his brother and have plenty more for himself later. These boys love bubbles. There were other packs around these Super Miracle Bubbles, but I believe these were the cheap ones (aren't all bubbles the same?). So I grabbed the pack, and finished up in the toy isle to head home and wrap.

Lucas opened his presents the next day. He was happy to get Paw Patrol toys, and of course a new ball for the park, robots, dinosaurs, fire trucks, and transformers, even a new tent! Of all the toys he opened he first asked to go blow bubbles. So we opened the bubbles and went outside. He tried for a few minutes to do it on his own. He usually blows to hard and it pops before it blows up so I thought I'd give him a little time before I assisted. 

Eventually he got frustrated and came to me for help. I tried to show him the proper way to blow a bubble but I couldn't even get bubbles on the stick. No matter how many times I dipped the stick there was no way I could even blow a bubble. I swear all six containers must have been filled with just water. NONE of them made any bubbles. I didn't have another set of bubbles so we ended up making some out of soap; Cheaper, more effective, and kid safe.

I cannot believe these "bubbles" are even on the shelves. I didn't bother taking them back to Wal-Mart, I got my money's worth, I suppose, but I encourage all of you to avoid bottom shelf items! Note to consumer: the "miracle" would be the bubbles actually working. Do not buy.
