Thoughts on the traditional bubble wand vs. the "Gazillion Bubbles" brand wand. This entry features multiple parenthetical clarifications and ends with an extremely cheap joke
First, a few facts. The traditional bubble wand has a single bubble opening, whereas the “Gazillion Bubbles” brand wand has many bubble openings (I guess “opening” is the right word. “Bubble hole” sounds weird). In theory, I guess, bubbles are good – why else would you purchase a wand? – and therefore more bubbles are better. But there is something unsatisfying about the Gazillion Bubbles wand. There are just too many bubbles. It’s overwhelming. Plus, part of the fun of the traditional bubble wand (at least for me) is the possibility of failure, i.e., sometimes no bubble is produced. With Gazillion Bubbles, you always get at least a few bubbles, often many more than a few (though not what I would deem a “gazillion”). Oddly, the sheer quantity of bubbles diminishes the quality of the experience. In other words, it blows.
