what the jolly holly heck is this?!

[SimonC]

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! My wife gave me this early gift today, can anyone guess wjatvthis mystery object is/does?
(one clue, it's not what it looks like!)

[John B.]

My guess- citrus reamer for making lemonade??

[SimonC]

good guess but no.
the blue bit isn't solid...

[JohnM]

Fill it with water, freeze, place inside buttski, cools and soothes hemorrhoid pain.

[SimonC]

Hah! yes that is what it looks like. You could do that in a pinch but it's not its primary function. The blue bit is latex and hollow and the orange bit is in two parts...

[Rob Rand]

Has it something to do with Star Wars?

[BluBob]

It's most definitely a genuine Tenyo latex Indian arrow-head which turns into a purple sponge ball which fits inside a 5D Surprise II, of which there were only two made/sold in Japan in 1988. Where's my prize?

[SimonC]

So close Bob, two words in there are relevant, arrow and ball.
Rob it's not a Star Wars thing BUT I did watch on Tuesday and I was flippin' brilliant

[Rob Rand]

It must be the new Paasman for Eye of the Idol!?

Is there a magnet inside??

[PeterW]

Hmmm is it an air freshener, or a tool for removing ear wax? : ) I haven't got the faintest clue what that is, but Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone here on the forum! I look forward to hearing the answer to the mystery item!

[SimonC]

the blue bit is stretchy and the orange bit is a ring. there's one small thing required to use it properly and they come in packs of about 100

[Rob Rand]

Ah, a confetti streamer ? Or how is it called?

[SimonC]

not quite but on the right track

[Rob Rand]

Party Poppers!

[SimonC]

it's not as friendly as party poppers!

[Roberto B.]

Is funny that if made a google image search you get this result as similar image:

[BobD]

It's an ammunition for a toy gun.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

[SimonC]

It's not ammunition but you're In the right area. (and it's not a toy either, the box says 18+)

[Roberto B.]

You connect it to the hose?

[Rob Rand]

It's a firecracker!

[Roberto B.]

Got it!!!!......don´t try it inside home!!:

[SimonC]

[David DeTenyo]

Darn that's cool! But it does look dangerous in the wrong hands!

[SimonC]

I agree, that's why I bought myself a second one so there's one less for the maniacs
