Someone Finds Old “Grow In Water” Egg At Goodwill And Puts It In Water, Regrets It 23 Hours Later
915Kviews
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!
This Tumblr user found something weird at Goodwill
So they decided to put it in water to see what would hatch
People had mixed reactions to the user’s new “child”

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
"Holy pissing hell" LOL
That’s one buffed up baby
Looks like a newborn baby hulk. I guess they must get their green coloration later.
It's supposed to look like that, will shrink a little when it dries out. Got a dinosaur out of an similar egg. Looked the same when I got it out of the water. When it dried out it wasn't as bloated anymore.
ok - so the dinosaur looked the same as this??
It looked as bloated as this baby, yes.
that's Rosemary's Baby! RUN
i thought that too - Polanski would have been proud
Hmmm... pork rind baby... *drools*
In trying to find a photo of what it should look like, I found the exact same photos posted over 5 years ago! On the aptly named anorak co uk
Well.. thats one failed reptilian hatchling by my standards...
Looks like Trump😂

You're looking in the mirror.
You need to learn some stuff, sweetie.
Am I the only one who thinks this is hella creepy?!
We all do! 😱
Looks like something that was spawned in a Hell Raiser movie!
I used to have these all the time as a kid. I remember they would come out looking a little weird, but this is next level weird.
That is how they looked a long time ago when those were popular, lol. I remember those!
...in other words, its not ugly because its old
Ik babies are born with a lot of fat but... why does it have boobs?
Well, maybe because boobs are mostly fat?
I just made the worst mistake of showing this post to my pregnant wife....her reaction was far from 'impressed'....and now I realize my mind is torn between laughing at a hilarious post....and the realization that I am an insensitive jerk :S
Omg!
holy crap that's gross
Newborn in real life look similar)
So horrifying it's funny.... Had to stifle a laugh here at work....
This post is like 3 years old google it
Must unsee.........
You took it out too early...
Kill it with fire
Dear God
THE BABY HAS BOOBS.
This child needs help
how i felt after the Trump: Putin Summit.
What is this monstrosity?!
Oh hell, leave it in there longer & see how big it gets!
Did anyone call child services on this one? lol
Looks like the baby mask from "Brazil" beebya-bra...3e3001.jpg
George Soros must have laid an egg... his spitting image
Now you've done it! You have unleashed the Anti-Christ!!
It actually looks like an old man!!
it wasso oldit was falling apart indide . so when born the pieces clung together .
AAAAHHHIIEEEEEEE
Put a wand in its right hand, then run like hell
Wow...
And now you know why it was at Goodwill...
Package says Amusing ( no...) Funny ( no...) Novel ( CHECK, CHECK CHECK!!!)
I think it needs to stay in the water longer. We had some of these recently from my sons birthday presents and they needed 4 days to fully expand
think it needs to stay in the water for as long as it takes to drown
I didn't know you could have a stone baby in an egg. At least this one didn't require surgery and end up in the news. Oh wait, here we are, reading about it.
Hahahaha....
Love the Disney reference on the last comment haha
So cute with the boobs
I didn't know David Cronenberg released a line of toys ...
Given a choice I think I'd rather have that Alien kid.
A little bit freaky. Made my day.
I got one of these for Easter this year and it was almost as horrifying as this, except with warped, muscly Easter chic.
It's s different, but if keep it. My opinion only.😁
Gyaaahhhh! Put it back, it ain't done yet!
Looks like it's all wrinkly and gross looking
I don't remember these from the early 1960 or anytime. How very odd.
A TRUMP BABY?
The belly and boobs look like the face of a frog. :)
I wonder why that never became a hit?
Someone found Donald Trump's baby pics.
Now we need to see the rest of the evolution
Eraser Head? no? just me? k.
🤣🤣 bloody brilliant. I'd have done the same myself. Nice chuckle there
I had to laugh out loud..
mmm Popplers are delicious
Call Carras!!
Wowww, people just had to made this about abortion, didn't they. Can't we just enjoy this hilarious mold of a child's toy without getting political?
No one made it about politics. you just did. They were joking about “abort” (the mission) not being an appropriate term since babies get aborted. Nothing political there
Lmaooo, look at the comments. Smhh
It is no longer politically correct to have a sense of humor.
It looks like my penis
The bird of Trump

Perhaps abort was not the best word to have used there.

You're supposed to let it keep growing so you can have sex with it.
