There&#8217;s as much &#8220;miracle&#8221; in it as there is in a jar of Miracle Whip.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sorry.  There is one thing miraculous about Miracle Whip and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that people still eat it.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what I liked about blowing bubbles when growing up.  I would blow bubbles into the air and then try to swat at them, like they were mosquitos, bees or if I just sniffed some rubber cement, the floating heads of the band <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KISS_%28band%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KISS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Keep that tongue away from me Gene Simmons!<\/i> <\/p>\n<p>Oh sorry, flashback.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  Now children, sniffing rubber cement is bad, m&#8217;kay.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d also try to catch some of the bubbles in my mouth and attempt to make huge bubbles, which always ended up with the bubble bursting and the bubble solution landing in my eye, causing it to burn and me go crying to my mommy, like the little pussy I was back then in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Much like a vibrator with low batteries, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think anyone could get much fun out of a bottle of Miracle Bubbles.  Although, I think several minutes of fun can be had if you decided to blow some Miracle Bubbles in the direction of a baby, cat, dog, or crazy hobo.  Consider it liquid entertainment for a baby, a liquid ball of yarn for a cat, a liquid chew toy for a dog, or liquid voices in the head of a crazy hobo.<\/p>\n<p>The bottle of Miracle Bubbles would be even less fun without the included Chinese-made Miracle Wand, much like how some wands are less fun without Viagra.  Without it, it would be hard to make bubbles with the Mexican-made bubble solution.  I think playing with Miracle Bubbles is as fun as making the actual Miracle Bubbles in a Mexican factory.<\/p>\n<p>A bottle of Miracle Bubbles could become fun if it actually could perform miracles, like float in the air and ignore the laws of gravity, part the Red Sea, turn water into wine, get Aaron and Nick Carter <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/House_Of_Carters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their own reality show<\/a>, give Larry the Cable Guy a career, or get a woman to talk to me.<\/p>\n<p>Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love bubbles.  <\/p>\n<p>I love it with soap.  <\/p>\n<p>I love it with shampoo.  <\/p>\n<p>I love it with toothpaste.  <\/p>\n<p>I even love Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls.<\/p>\n<p>But despite going through a whole bottle of Miracle Bubbles, it just didn&#8217;t excite me.  Although, it might&#8217;ve been different if I had a cat, dog, or crazy hobo around.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Miracle Bubbles<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  50 cents<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  A store with a bunch of cheap junk<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  2 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Fun with cats, dogs, and crazy hobos.
