Does anyone know how to make a WHOLE lotta bubbles out of normal household products? I’m talking about enough bubbles to fill up an entire room.

Thanks,

Well, Curious George used a box of laundry soap and a garden hose.

(He’s a good little monkey, but always very curious.)

At the risk of being more practical and pissing your victim off less by not totally destroying their office or whatever, I have personally used big sheets of paper, taped them up against the windows of the room, and then filling the loose fitting paper with packing peanuts. The illussion was pretty convincing, but easy to clean up. This technique may or may not work with bubbles.
