a slight advantage —

Bunch O Balloons will revolutionize water fights

The product fills multiple balloons with water simultaneously.

Bunch O Balloons is a new product that allows you to fill and tie dozens of water bombs at the same time and is sure to revolutionize water fights across the land.

On the face of it, it's a hose attachment with 37 pre-connected balloons that automatically tie themselves once filled with water. It looks a little like a bunch of deflated grapes. But the impact that this technological solution to a fiddly problem will have should not be underestimated: it's the water fight equivalent to the invention of the machine gun. Suddenly those who have this new munitions invention will have an enormous advantage over those who don't. The war will be one-sided, brutal, and extremely soggy.

The company behind Bunch O Balloons—Tinnus Enterprises—promises that it makes it possible to fill 100 balloons in just one minute. This compares to the six or so balloons that you could tie by hand per minute. It's devastating for your enemy.

The way it works is that the uninflated balloons have been pulled over 37 straws. Around the neck of each balloon is a tiny, tight rubber band securing the balloon onto the straw. The straws feed into a single head that can be attached to a hose for filling. This allows for all of the balloons to simultaneously fill with water. You can then stop the hose and shake the balloons gently to release them into your arsenal. You then only need to watch your opponents quaking in their shoes as you pelt them with your never-ending supply.

The balloons themselves are made from natural rubber and have an additive that accelerates the biodegradation process in the presence of natural sunlight.

Tinnus Enterprises is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to put Bunch O Balloons into production. It's already smashed its target of $10,000 to raise almost $300,000. You can pre-order your own here. You get three devices for $15.
