I love hearing about [flash mobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-dandelion-day), especially when strangers are caught in the middle and probably have no idea what's going on. This is what I imagine many people in Times Square experienced when a massive bubble fight broke out.

Hundreds of people started [blowing bubbles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atomic-bubbles), creating a magical looking world of bubbles amongst crowds of people. The bubble fight at Times Square was supposed to be loosely based on the Dr. Seuss book 'The Butter Battle Book,' which makes this flash mob of fun even more entertaining.

Who doesn't love a good, entertaining flash mob?
