    OK so we just went to Hobby Lobby during their 50% off sale and purchased some of the wedding bubble wands with the hearts on the top... well i am pretty sure I looked at all of them well today I go to open them up to start attaching the little ribbons and tags and there was about 5 tubes in one of the containers that the bubbles had turned a pure brown color... seriously looks like cola. I notice some of the others were not as clear as they should have been either.

    Has anyone had a problem with this before.... now i am just wondering if they were old and will all turn or if it is where maybe they got to hot hauling them around in the car that day or what

    Anyone else had this problem? I will be returning that batch but now i am just worried about them all turning before my wedding at the end of July

    if you can"t return them, maybe you can fill them with regular bubbles solution...or soap & water, like when you were a kid...just a thought..good luck!

    Eww. I would take them back.

    ETA: I was just going to edit to add that you can replace the solution with regular bubles, but I see that was suggested. :) Great minds think alike.

    Yes i just bought them like 3 days ago... so returning them is not a problem I am sure they will allow a return but i dunno I am almost afraid to buy them again ... because i am not sure what caused this ... but i know that they were not like that when i bought them because i picked them up and looked at the bottome of them both to make sure non were leaking and it is so brown that you could have for sure noticed it...

    but yesterday before i even opened the package i noticed they were brown

    I guess since it seems i am the only person who had this problem...(googled it and came up with no one else who had this problem) i will just take them back and exchange them and hope they dont turn brown again

    Gross!!!! I'd return them... but if the price was that good & you can't get a deal like that elsewhere, I'd just refill the wedding-ish containers with another bubble mixture! :)

    I got mine from michaels and nothing like that happened but some of them have evaporated since i bought them. I would say you just got some nasty bubbles, but if you get some different bubbles, watch out for evaporation. I am going to see if refrigerating my bubbles helps. lol
