    So it feels like boobs? Why is its popularity surprising, again?

    Yea, like that helps any diggers out in describing what it feels like....
  • Jhiaxuz, on 08/03/2008, -2/+228You could throw em off by chucking rocks that skip. They have the consistency of pain.
  • Darkaged, on 08/03/2008, -27/+226A ball that bounces on water?


    WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW BITCH

  • mtdna, on 08/03/2008, -2/+135Note that it doesn't feel like real boobs. Those feel more like bags of sand.
  • RyeBrye, on 08/03/2008, -1/+89I live nowhere near any bodies of water, and I only rarely go swimming. However, now that I know that this so-called "Waboba" is the "must-have" item of the summer, I simply must have it.

    Maybe I'll bounce it in my bathtub or in my sink when friends come over to show how hip I am.
  • dhughes, on 08/03/2008, -0/+67 "...about the size of a golf ball"

    I'd holding two of the soft "golf ball" sized Waboba's in your hand would be more like testicles than breasts, but then I guess that wouldn't have been a good way to market them.
  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -7/+71Gay! balls are touching.
  • cdigioia, on 08/03/2008, -1/+62Like bags of...sand?
  • yojiffyskippy, on 08/03/2008, -7/+67"must-have beach toy of the summer"???? Really? It looks like it doesn't "bounce", it skips just like most other balls (and some rocks!).
  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -0/+58breasticles
  • uptown, on 08/03/2008, -2/+59I prefer happy fun ball.....
  • GMofOLC, on 08/03/2008, -0/+51Great, so now if you miss the ball, you have to swim for half a mile before you can get it.
  • shadeOfGrey, on 08/03/2008, -0/+45I'm sick of your pro tennis ball propaganda. /s
  • thailand1972, on 08/03/2008, -0/+45Damn, and I just ordered two :(
  • soulkitchen, on 08/03/2008, -0/+43Dugg for the Girl in the video at 10 sec.
  • nightmar3, on 08/03/2008, -2/+42Is this available in the states?
  • Xlr8ed, on 08/03/2008, -1/+40Do NOT taunt happy fun ball
  • Sil369, on 08/03/2008, -1/+37Wilson?
  • TheNatMan, on 08/03/2008, -1/+28:11. Her wabobas could get my balls in action, that's for sure! Giggity!
  • szskateman22, on 08/03/2008, -3/+27wait so if I throw some breast implants in the water will they skip too?
  • rufus12, on 08/03/2008, -0/+24I wonder if in the future we can use the ball to make transportation devices. Giant ball in a cannon going across the english channel anyone?
  • shadeOfGrey, on 08/03/2008, -1/+23Warning: happy fun ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds
  • shadeOfGrey, on 08/03/2008, -1/+22Oh yeah? well tennis balls don't have the added feature of feeling like boobs.
  • defaultdigger, on 08/03/2008, -1/+21Digg tip : Do not ever ask why you were dugg down.
  • clickwir, on 08/03/2008, -0/+18Yes and no. You can walk into just about any novelty shop and find a ball of the same make that does the same thing. Though, they are usually sold under the names "stress ball". They do the same thing.
  • niner9, on 08/03/2008, -5/+22Do not taunt Waboba ball.

  • diabolicedict, on 08/03/2008, -0/+16I doubt that would prevent diggers from buying it. You know, just to see what it feels like.

    Dugg for having the word "breast".
  • kravex, on 08/03/2008, -1/+17"is described as having the consistency of a breast implant. "

    Sold.

    2 please.
  • ezyeric, on 08/03/2008, -2/+18I am so dissapointed, I was expecting something like a bouncy ball going across a lake, now that would be awesome, and make a lot of WTF faces. It is definitely skipping.
  • DontUKnowImLoco, on 08/03/2008, -0/+15On their site's online store, they say "Delivered by mail worldwide. A transport charge of 6 EURO is added for each shipment of goods."...

    That comes out to about $9.34 USD.
  • billizm, on 08/03/2008, -3/+18hmm, bounces in water might be exaggerating. Skips like a skipping stone in water might be more accurate.
  • protodon, on 08/03/2008, -1/+15hehehe Wabooba
  • 0ceanic, on 08/03/2008, -0/+13do you always have to slam it into the water to make it bounce?
  • NinjaPirateDude, on 08/03/2008, -6/+18the title makes it seem really, really, retarded but it actually is kinda cool.
  • normalizer, on 08/03/2008, -0/+12are you suggesting we take the breast implants of a dead woman? Do you have access to a morgue or do we need to become grave robbers. I'm with you on this, just want to know if I need to buy a shovel.
  • wenis, on 08/03/2008, -5/+17i laughed sir, good game.
  • DemDude, on 08/03/2008, -0/+11Sounds perfectly safe. Sir, make it happen, I'm buying five.
  • d1a1s1, on 08/03/2008, -0/+10Can we get that comment ONE more time?? Maybe we'll think its witty the third time.
  • bravo1995, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9I don't know how big your testicles are, but I'm man enough to admit that mine are most decidedly NOT the size of golf balls.
  • ggacid, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9Not only that, you have to hit the tennis ball hard as ***** with a racket to make it skip across the water..
  • sethdesantis, on 08/03/2008, -0/+9just bought 3 on ebay, total cost w/ S&H to NY was $25
  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -2/+10You, like I, probably were thinking of bouncing like bouncing or dribbling a basketball.
    Still, does what other balls can't do.
  • jlmillstein, on 08/03/2008, -4/+11Here's a video to back up click's statement. It's waboba vs. ordinary stress ball.

  • Justice101, on 08/03/2008, -1/+8I'll stick to my companion cube, because I know it loves me.

  • inactive, on 08/03/2008, -2/+9The point being that if this thing nails you in the face/body it won't hurt whereas a tennis ball has the potential to bruise or break your nose at the right velocity. That's what makes this little thing popular, it's safe.
