\"shut_up_and_take_my_money\"<\/a>Quite possibly the greatest invention for hot, humid summers since the Coolest Cooler<\/a> exploded on Kickstarter, a Texas father developed an ingenious method of filling 100 water balloons in under one minute. If you have tried to fill up a pack of water balloons at an outdoor water hose, you will immediately understand the true awesomeness that’s\u00a0Bunch O Balloons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, you attach the\u00a0Bunch O Balloons pack to the end of a hose, crank up the water and it immediately fills up 37 water balloons. After a few seconds, the user simply shakes the balloons over a plastic container. All 37 balloons are automatically tied off and dropped into the container. According to the creator of\u00a0Bunch O Balloons, this can be repeated two more times in under a minute for a huge bucket full of at least 100 water balloons.<\/p>\n

If you are familiar with a water balloon device called the Tie-Not\u00a0featured recently on Shark Tank, this completely blows it away in terms of volume. The\u00a0Tie-Not can knock about about 8 balloons in one minute, less than 10 percent of the\u00a0Bunch O Balloons. This type of invention would be ideal for children’s summer birthday parties or any event where tons of children will want to chuck water balloons around the yard.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this Kickstarter project is focused on ramping up automated production over time for release on the mass market as opposed to actually building a product. The product is already built, tested and ready to go.<\/p>\n

Early backers will be able to take advantage of\u00a0Bunch O Balloons (via manual packing) between August and September 2014 depending on the backing level. As\u00a0Bunch O Balloons grows over time, the company will likely make the product available on their site as well as retail channels. At the moment, it’s priced about $12 per pack of 100 balloons.<\/p>\n
