Product Description
INTERESTING HISTORY ABOUT WATER BALLOONS: Water balloons were invented in 1950 by an English inventor called Edgar Ellington. When Ellington originally sat down in his lab to get his Farnsworth on, he wasn't trying to invent a water-based toy for children, he was trying to invent a sock. More specifically, a waterproof sock that could help a person avoid catching a nasty condition colloquially known as "trench foot", from standing in water for too long. The story goes that upon filling the sock with water, Ellington noticed a tiny stream of water coming out of the bottom, indicating that his latex sock had somehow sprung a leak. Ellington became so enraged at this point that he hurled the water-filled sock across his lab, which caused it to explode violently and more importantly, awesomely. Ellington was so surprised at this that he re-tooled his invention and decided to sell them to the public as "water grenades" instead of trying to continue making his waterproof sock.
