Wubble Bubble Ball

The Wubble Bubble Ball is an inflatable ball manufactured by NSI International in 2014. The product has been criticized for blatant false advertising about the ball’s durability and other aspects.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) As said above, False Advertising: advertised as looking like a bubble and playing like a ball, the ball itself is extremely fragile, being prone to popping in a matter of minutes even when touching something as simple as grass.
 * 2) * Not helping matters is that advertisements for the ball contain a split-second disclaimer telling viewers to keep the ball away from sharp things, presumably so that the manufacturers can defend against lawsuits for false advertising.
 * 3) Despite the commercial stating that the ball inflates in 2-3 minutes, the ball actually takes an excruciatingly long time to inflate, possibly taking around half an hour or a full hour to fully inflate, even with the pump that the ball comes with.
 * 4) Pouring more salt in the wound, the ball won't even inflate to large size that was advertised.
 * 5) The ball may contain toxic chemicals, as it carries a strong and repulsive paint thinner smell right out of the box.
 * 6) The "free lifetime warranty" is not actually free; it actually costs $6.99.
 * 7) * Customer service is also horrible as they will likely not pick up at all.
 * 8) The glow-in-the-dark variant is another case of false advertising since the ball is reported to have a very dim glow. There is also little to no improvement, as this version is just as susceptible to popping as the original.
