Technological advancements don't always have to be useful or change the world in a profound and meaningful way. Sometimes, they can just be fun. Like colored bubbles. A world's first, Zubbles are the result of 10 years of kitchen sink experiments by chemist Tim Kehoe, VP of R&D at product design firm Ascadia.

The bubbles work just like ordinary blowing bubbles, but come in rich, vibrant colors that are nearly opaque. The color is created with patented specialty dyes that disappear when exposed to air, water or pressure, and are non-staining and non-toxic. Announced in 2005, Zubbles was awarded a Popular Science award the same year.

Now this is one product that can simply be described in one word - FUN. I don't mind telling you that I feel like getting a case of Zubbles in all their available colors, then sitting in my bath an hour a day just blowing bubbles!

The kitchen sink (garage, kitchen table and probably the loo as well) has probably been the birthplace of many a wonderful invention so a word to budding chemists, engineers and inventors : Like Tim Kehoe, you don't have to limit yourself to a 9 to 5 job just going through the motions. Put all that wonderful brain power to good use.

I'm sure entreprising entrepreneurs can see a hundred and one ways to put Zubbles to good use. You can be a distributor, or simply add Zubbles to your events to give it that extra bubbly zing. It's sure to be a major attraction. Contact details can be found on Zubbles' Website.
