If you're making a group order, I could go for any three. Golden ones look cool, or pink ones, or any colors really. I'm not going for the color as much as for the drama.
I have 3 round eggs, that behave just like it... Throw it and it looks like a fried egg, but it reconstructs itself.. I got those from thailand a year ago. Priceless, except the 1/3 of the liquid inside the thing has evaporated, so it doesn't look so nice anymore (big air bubble inside)
@arabella I think it would if the membrane is strong/tough enough. The water is just battling its own weight plus the friction of the membrane peeling up from the splatted surface--otherwise no friction, it's just as happy being a ball? Am now picturing Pigs In Space....
Just realised i forgot to put an order in, tally so far is:
Arabella - 5
Tuomas - 3
Kati - 1
Petri - 5
Teemu - 5
Sponge, Dave, you want any as a mixer? :P

Pigs do not like sharp corners.
1 year, 10 months ago by anttipoi
did you put a hole in it?

Oh and also: me wants
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
Me wants too!

Friend tossed one into a wall and hit a sharp corner. Piggie exploded dramatically.

"Piggie exploded dramatically."
I want an exploding freakin' pig!

I hope it was water inside. I suspect these are very short-lived, generally. Better buy a dozen straight away.

Me needs one.

You guys wanna go in on a few? I got five on it!
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
I do gotta say, I'm more of a sucker for the hot pink ones...

Super thin yet strong/flexible membrane filled with water? Is that what these are?
1 year, 10 months ago by spongefile
I could also order 1, whatever colour.
1 year, 10 months ago by Kati
I'm in for 5 pigs or something. :)
1 year, 10 months ago by psalmi
I'll put an order in on monday - claim yours today!
I also love this idea when it comes to office foofery.
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
Make it five for me, any color will do!

Sponge- I dunno what's inside them, I don't think water, it wouldn't goo back up into a ball so readily. I'm guessing Essence of Terminator 2.
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
I think it is just water, at least it didn't smell too toxic when one exploded. The gooing is due to the thickish plastic blob itself.

Oh yeah.. I am quite certain it is water inside.

We can easily deduce the answer to this riddle once and for all by performing a piggy vivisection!
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
You drink the liquid first!
1 year, 10 months ago by spongefile
€5 says there's no water filling...
1 year, 10 months ago by murphy
@murphy I'll raise you another 5€ and say there is...loser drinks it! :P
1 year, 10 months ago by spongefile
if I'm wrong, I may die, but you're on :)
1 year, 10 months ago by murphy
If these pigs guts end up killing one of you guys I shall be very put out. I should check to see if they're kosher, or something...
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
I just realized no, that means I die. You'd just have to drink icky water, and I'd have to drink Terminator 2 Death Goo. Crap.
1 year, 10 months ago by spongefile
No one's going to drink anything! Let's just do what any scientist would do and feed it to some feral cats
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
No kitty abuse, please.
1 year, 10 months ago by jsade
I was kidding of course! There's no feral cats in Helsinki (are there)?

Should we order also one for Boogie?
1 year, 10 months ago by psalmi
Who?
1 year, 10 months ago by arabella
