Each generation has it’s own variety of bizarre toy creations. You know, the toys that you found so entertaining at the time but now looking back you think WTF? I mean whose grand idea was it to create the never-dying, obnoxious Furby? (David Hampton, Richard C. Levy and Caleb Chung, that’s who).
Well among the list of odd creations is the expandable water toy. Created using superabsorbent polymer technology, originating first in the early 1960’s, these various shapes can grow to around quadruple their original size in water. A Tumblr user came across one of these retro toys at Goodwill, but couldn’t quite figure out what the object inside was supposed to grow into. After 23 hours of observation and some comical ‘scientific’ commentary, they were met with an odd and unexpected result. Scroll down below for the whole story and the big reveal from Bored Panda!

my son got one of these, but with a penguin in it, we left it in the glass a little too long and it kept growing. Only just got it out of the glass. Then, we left it in the bathroom window while we were on holiday. It got hot. It shrank. I wish I had a funny ending to this story. Sorry.
The mental image IS funny, though.
the description on the package - "amusing, funny, novel" it is none them- but a few horror novels spring to mind
I am upvoting you just for "wish I had a funny ending ... sorry". :D
OMFG... In the beginning my stupid mind read " I got my son in one of these" .... And couldn't understand anything lmao
that just cracked me up
i bought one of these for my friend's son a couple of years ago except it hatched a fish (kinda like flounder from the disney's the little mermaid)... i didn't get to see its final form but i was told it was appreciated :D THIS ONE THO
the bathroom is probably the wrong place to leave it
The combination of the Mr Magoo head placed on the body of a fertility goddess is truly disturbing. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Magoo-Damona, goddess of fertility, near-sightedness and Road Hogs!
Whatever it is, you brought it to life and you must love it!
Put it in the window and go on holiday, and let it shrink.
think i would have never dared come home from the holiday
Well, Diane A gave me an idea. What about if it/she/he does not shrink but becomes bigger and bigger until filling the whole home (you can't even open the door!)?

@Kelly: your comment below--That is a horror movie plot! Lol
