Colorful Bubbles

Zubbles Changes the Face of Bubble Blowing

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.
