Are you kidding me? $390K pledged of the $10K goal with 26 days to go?

By the time they ramp up to full production, it will be wintertime and the ice balloons will kill someone.

I need to do something quick with my wholesome young twins in a viral video.

    All you need now is something to make 100 snow balls at a time and you have summer and winter fun wrapped up!!! I must say, that is a cool idea.

    You got to admit, this is awesomely brilliant in its simplicity, and completely original, and way cheap.
    If anything deserves funding, this one looks like a cnadidate. I guess 11,500 folks share this same opinion.

    This is one of those "wish I had thought of it" ideas. Simple, yes, though also not easy unless you know how to make molds for rubber goods. Or know a good shop to have it done.

    Not sure the sponsoring outfit picked a good name for themselves, though. Tinnus Enterprises? Really?? Who doesn't immediately think of "tinnitus," which is what you get when you're hit in the ear with a big water balloon.

    Still, a great idea.
