Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Caution: Gumballs and Gumball-shaped Poison Mixed Together!

This is very simillar to what I wanted to do for Halloween one year.

I wanted to put on the light, but instead of answering the door, I wanted to just have a big tub of snickers bars out front with a sign that read "1 in 10 has a razor".

I thought it was appropriate since Halloween is supposed to be scary. My wife vetoed the idea. Sucked the joy right out of my holiday spirit.

[–]fizdup 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is an excellent plan. My only concern is: how do you get the razors into the snickers bars without ripping the wrappers? Sticky tape on the end would be a dead give away.

May as well mix in some jawbreakers while they're at it.

[–]pseudolobster 51 points52 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That's actually a fantastic idea. Someone should sell packs of gumballs with one jawbreaker mixed in. They all look the same and weigh the same, so you'd never know what to expect. You could sell them in packs of six and call them IDK, russian roulette balls or something.

[–]dkdl 2 points3 points ago

That's an awesome idea. You should take it and market it in... another country. Considering the risk of frivolous lawsuits in the U.S., it's possible to get sued for making awesome stuff. D:

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I'm not sure that lawsuit would be so frivolous.

Can't tell if sarcasm or not but those already exist.

I can imagine kids throwing jawbreakers at windows instead of bouncing balls.

Those things are too damn bouncy. You bite down, and WHAM, there goes your mandible...

[–]DeliciousNoodle 6 points7 points ago

You're aware that humans also have mandibles?

Not trying to be a dick or anything, just checking :o

[–]belzner 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Mandible just means jaw, or jawbone more specifically in this case.

[–]voyetra8[S] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I know what mandible means. Just rare to hear someone use it instead of the colloquial jaw.

[–]palehorse864 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I got what you were doing and found it hilarious. It is weird to hear a more esoteric word, but I think that's what samemeone was going for. "There goes your mandible" is just off kilter enough to be funny, "there goes your jaw" sounds too ordinary.

[–]fizdup 0 points1 point ago

In spanish, the word for "lips" is "labia". I just thought I would share.

Well it is too high for some kids to even see, so that should prove interesting....especially when they are so young they don't even know the texture difference between a gumball and a bouncy ball.

[–]lundah 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It would be interesting to see what kinds of chemicals the gumballs pick up from being mixed in with the rubber ones. Melamine-coated gum, delicious!

[–]palehorse864 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You shouldn't put a bouncie ball in your mouth as you could choke. There is a solution though. When you get a ball from this machine, throw it straight down on the floor. If it bounces up, it's a rubber ball and you shouldn't eat it. If it doesn't bounce and makes a hard sound, it's a gumball and it is safe to pick up and eat.

[–]pooskerdoo 1 point2 points ago

Back in college, I had a friend who kept a bowl full of peanut M&Ms in his room. For a laugh, I snuck a few similarly sized gumballs into the bowl and mixed them up. I didn't find out until about 17 years later at a reunion how that gag paid off - he said he totally remembered eating just the weirdest peanut M&M ever, and thought that somthing had gone bad because it was left out all the time. He did finally figure out it was gum.

[–]funwheeldrive 1 point2 points ago

throw it at the floor as hard as you can?

[–]thetoastmonster 0 points1 point ago

And if it doesn't bounce, pick it up and eat it.

Considering that most of those cheap bouncy balls are made in places like China, I wouldn't put anything that went near them in my mouth (or let any children do the same) seems irresponsible.

What a terrible idea. What jackass thought it would be a good idea to put inedible same-sized looks-like-gum bouncy balls in the fucking gum machine. This person deserves to be taken out back...and told what a terrible idea this is, then shot.
