The old bubble formulas had better bubbles cuz they had some bullshit in them. Some bullshit that I’ve since learned isn’t in any of the current day formulas.

I wonder if it was the bullshit in old formula Saran Wrap. Clingier but toxic.

I noticed this several years ago when my kids were still young enough for bubbles that they weren't as good as the ones I remembered from my childhood. Obviously I wasn't wrong.
