Inventor Josh Malone brainstormed and experimented for a few years to create a device that would allow his family to prepare for their water balloon fights easily and quickly. On July 22, Malone brought his creation, Bunch O Balloons, to Kickstarter for pre-order. Just 13 days later, he has raised more than 70 times his initial funding goal and experienced overwhelming support from beyond the core tech-oriented crowdfunding community.
One Bunch O Balloons pack features three stems, with each stem containing 37 balloons. Each balloon is attached to a stem by a hose coupling and then secured to the coupling by a small O-ring. Users screw the stem onto a hose and turn the water on, allowing the balloons to fill simultaneously. When the balloons are full, the user lightly shakes the system and each balloon falls off, cinched shut by its o-ring, allowing users to fill and tie 100 balloons in just one minute.
Anyone can pre-order Bunch O Balloons on Kickstarter until August 21. After that, Malone will be ramping up production to fulfill the orders from the Kickstarter campaign and determining how he will proceed with sales of the product moving forward.
