Toys have really changed since I was a kid lol

Depending on your age not the bubbles though 😂. But toys do get better (generally, not counting the cheaply made stuff 👀).

B-Loonies!!!! (The goo-bubbles that you blow up with the straw) those were SUCH an obsession of mine growing up!!

[@thumbsarehandy.]

Yes! They smelled horrendous, like toxic chemicals. I'm glad they have improved in the last 20+ years!

[@tamarapeterson1844]

And the SMELL...oh my God.

[@itspixel2841]

​@@thumbsarehandy. Well the ones Jackie used were from England, which has a lot more regulations than the US does, so they're probably using some different (and less smelly) ingredients

[@newew15]

I remember those too. They smelled so bad

Yes we have this too in france when I was a kid and my siblings and I loved it

[@pedanticm]

I had a Jacob's Ladder toy when I was a kid...it's how the blocks are wrapped. Pay close attention to the ribbons when they flip. These are older than any of us! lol

[@katdifferent768]

I have a Jacobs latter, I still play with it and it was the only fight for the longest time that actually worked for me. Glad someone else knows about it

[@itsnotkaylee]

I love Jacob’s ladder toys!! I have so much variations of them

[@gwendolynklwrnce]

We used to make these in summer camps

[@eugenie8661]

When I was a kid, my mom had a little pen case that opened and flipped around like that. I played with that thing so much! It was so smooth and cool

[@luuuscarlet]

I got one when at my younger days… But it was so good until the one or the ribbon just snapped 😂 But I got so nostalgic moment when I see that again

[@mapelianbutton4954]

I used to play the bubble paste when I was a kid. I would wrap the paste straight around the end of the straw then blow it until it's big and almost translucent, you can't stop blowing until it's almost stretched out. If it's too stretched out, you won't be able to close the bubble properly. I have never seen a magnificent bubble that big before

[@franziskamrak2417]

Same that was really fun and I blew gigantic bubbles.

[@lcoq19]

Magnificent Bubbles has been sold for decades in the US under the name "Bloonies" but usually in tinier tubes with straws that are the size of a lollipop stick. You can get them for $1 at most dollar stores. They smell like chemicals and are a right of passage for kids in the US. 😂 Because of the smaller straws though, you rarely get a successful bubble though.

[@MINDFULBADDIEISSLAY]

Sup

[@emilys384]

Loved the dollar store ones so much growing up! The chemical smell was so strong! The dollar stores near me used to also sale the sticky bubbles.

[@maltedcrow]

Her saying that it just smelt like soap was so wild to me because I was expecting her to comment on them smelling like liquid cement! So wild that Magnificent Bubbles doesn't have the same intense chemical smell.

[@Yolandita_C]

aahhh.. I didn't read comments first.. I just left a comment about this magnificent bubbles in the 80s lol.. I just didn't remember the name..

[@danellison8036]

I am from the uk

[@beesgood]

One year when I was getting my bachelor's degree I found the magic bubbles during finals week and it was the most unhinged experience I had in college. Literally everyone I showed or let use found it to be the funniest thing ever. So many giggling young adults.

[@Dalmatianbee]

I have heard of the Jacob's Ladder but didn't know of it being a "fidget toy."

[@Mary-le1mh]

In the 70's and 80's we had something like the magnificent bubble.

[@SandraWeierman]

I was going to say that. I remember it having a weird caustic plasticky smell and was hard to blow any bubbles.

Still existed in the 90- early 2000s, I also remember them when I was in school.

Those bubbles, aren't the kind that are "Toxic"? I remembered reading the warning labels about them! The "Magnificent Bubbles" I mean, not the test tube bubbles, those are okay! I'm saying that if something's "Toxic", why sell it? Especially to kids? And Marvin's Magic! Boy does that bring back memories! At least whenever the infomercials for them were on! But the FINGERS! Oh god! Give that to someone and prank them for a joke! XD It gave Jackie a little jumpscare!

[@valperkins6621]

I'm almost 70 and we played with them as kids. Ours were smaller.

[@spencertilly]

😆 the magic light was so entertaining!

[@Taracinablue]

I have glorious childhood memories of the touchabubbles--especially because my house has an indoor second-story window to the kitchen, and that gives the bubbles plenty of time to become touchable. We stacked them on our fingers, etc. Turning on the ceiling fan is a mistake, lol. The bubble "ghosts" will last indefinitely! It's very funny to me that you thought the Jacob's Ladder was unique and creative because that's an antique toy--google says from the 1800s. I mean, I suppose it was unique and creative over 200 years ago =)

[@Zardox2]

*Edit: Super ELASTIC Bubble Plastic... and looking at the vintage ads, it is the exact same thing. Maybe we had difficulty because we tried to "re-blow" the bubbles... it was a loooong time ago, so forgive my fuzzy memory. 😂 The second bubble toy... Reminds me of a product from the 70s called, "Super Fantastic Bubble Plastic". But the goop/plastic was thicker, and you would nearly pass out trying to blow it up into a ball. BUT they advertised that you could play with the ball - kinda like you would with a beach ball. That product died kinda quickly, so I don't even know if any vintage ads remain, but I might look it up later. 😁👍

[@AlexandriaWhitney_]

Most of these are toys you could win at arcades in the 90’s. Oh the nostalgia

[@anniella29]

40 years ago when I was at college training to be an Occupational Therapist, as part of the course we learned woodworking for 2 years. One of our projects was to make a Jacob's Ladder. It is a very ancient toy. The first documented description of a Jacob's Ladder dates to the 1880s in a journal called Scientific American. It was quite amusing to me to see your surprise and entertainment with it Jackie :). I've been watching your videos for quite a few years now. Thanks for all the work you do!

[@charliemayfilms1550]

1880s is hardly "ancient" thats less than 200 years

[@RenaeC86]

I work with kids and have found for my own sanity that with toys that have sound that you can’t turn off, if you cover the speaker completely with masking tape or duct tape it softens the noise to more bearable levels 😂😂 the more/thicker tape you use the more it quietens it

I got my first Jacob’s Ladder when I was a kid visiting an Amish adjacent town. And then I ended up making my own for my school’s Pioneer Day. Iunno, I always thought they were pretty common. Definitely entertaining to a kid on a long car trip tho.

[@Justaroundtheriverbend]

Fellow adhder and I believe that we are the same age Jackie, I can’t believe you’ve never experienced the magic of a Jacob’s ladder. As a little undiagnosed grain I loved my Jacob’s ladder!

[@EvilBlackCat]

When I was a kid in the 80s we had Super Elastic Bubble Plastic which is like those magnificent bubble things with the tube. However back then they were made with materials that created noxious fumes and could be dangerous when inhaled through the straw. I remember they stank SO MUCH. I was surprised to see them around again but since you said it smelled like soap I'm guessing it's made from something different now.

[@Zephyeran]

Jacob's Ladders have been dear to me for a long time, always happy to hear about them!! And that Sugar Rush stuff at 24:20 reminds me of how satisfying it is to play with Kneadable Erasers!!!

[@teresadixon2899]

I also love those catchable bubbles! Awesome for photography. I have a picture of my black cat (RIP Jaguar) surrounded with bubbles. He was just there for the attention, lol.

The Magnificant Bubbles product has been around for a looong time. It was called Magic Bubbles in the US and I played with it as a kid in the SEVENTIES!! 😊

When we had that goo and straw stuff wayyyyyyyy back in the day. It smelled like gasoline/acetone and we still loved to blow those toxic bubbles smh

The lights are pretty cute. I think you made it even more fun. You could even pretend that you cut the light somehow into 2 and then put it back together into 1.

[@indrahx5905]

The Magnificent Bubbles... such a wonderful childhood memory! I remember the smell and all. You can make several and stick them together! Thanks for the reminder, I will order them for my nieces. :)

[@sugarsick]

Those touchable bubbles come with catnip for your pets and they just made the whole house sticky, so be careful😂 but also if your cats like bubbles you should find the catnip ones and try them.

[@bagumyfemboy-atworkuwu767]

Man the bubbles was so good they're still about one hour without pop! But my favorite was the fingers xD

[@thumbsarehandy.]

Marvin's Magic? As in the Marvin's Magic Drawing Board from the 90s? The As Seen on TV product every kid had on their wishlist? I am shocked they're still around!

[@brandonp5846]

I think you're supposed to spread the magnificent balloon stuff while you're blowing it up to make the bubble bigger not after its pinched off the straw. It takes some practice but I still love the magnificent balloons! 😊

[@Tania-CherieMical]

So entertaining Jackie. Hilarious. Pat is such a good sport.

[@nerdecrafter]

[@solunasassoon]

Those bubbles that hang out is 1/2 corn syrup 1/2 soap.

[@pie55255]

Fun fact: cloud slime is effectively an underdeveloped slime plus a lot of cannetic sand so that's probably why you enjoy it so much. Also Jacobs ladder relise on the ribbons you see going throughout the toy in order to keep them all together. You flipping one causes to ribbon to "fix it" flipping each subsequent block. Without them being sturdy wooden blocks with a decent weight, it wouldn't work correctly!

[@louiseb6111]

Those ARE some impressive bubbles. Especially after that long. 👏👌

The bubbles that come out of a tube and you blow them through the straw, are reminiscent of “Super Elastic Bubble Plastic.” This was a product we had when I was a child in the 1970’s. It was a very strong chemical substance.

The magnificent bubbles are the cheap stuff I used to play with as a kid, but each tube was way smaller and the tube is a tiny plastic straw (like the disposable, soft plastic drinking straw type but tiny) The buttons reflex game I see a ton of in local stores selling Chinese goods. It’s interesting to see how items are packaged differently and sold in other places. Jacob’s ladder too is like a cheap but clever toy that’s been around for ages.
