Meet me in Minneapolis for Mr. Bubble’s 50th Birthday Bash!!!
My kids LOVE bubble baths — and since Mr. Bubble sent us a batch of Bubble Bath and Foam Soap, my kids have been soaking and playing in the tub for hours each night!
This Saturday, my nine year old son Jackson and I will be in Minneapolis for Mr. Bubbles 50th Birthday Bash! Sadly, I have to leave Olivia home so she can attend the dress rehearsal for her ballet recital on Sunday. (Jackson and I are catching a late night flight home to be at her performance on Sunday!)
It is too bad Olivia will miss this MASSIVE Bubble Bash at the incredible Waterpark of America in Bloomington, MN. I know Jackson will have a BLAST — and I so hope that some of you who live in Minneapolis can come out to party bubble-style with us!
Mr. Bubble – childhood icon for 50 years
For 50 years, Mr. Bubble has been making kids smile and “Making getting clean as much fun as getting dirty!” To celebrate 50 wonderful years as an iconic brand and best selling bubble bath, Mr. Bubble is throwing this huge birthday bash – and Jackson and I are flying out for the party in the morning!
Mr. Bubble 50th Birthday Bash
Mr. Bubble’s birthday bash will be held June 11, 2011 at the Waterpark of America in Bloomington, MN, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. If you are in the Bloomington area, we’d love to see you there.

I loved Mr Bubble as a kid. Now my two children love it as well. As soon as I start the bath my daughter finds the bottle and says “Bubble! Bubble!” over and over until I add some. The bubbles sure do make it more funto get clean. Even when they are playing in the dirt & mud outside, when I say time for a bubble bath, they run to get inside.
I used to love taking baths with Mr. Bubble! peanut[at]nyc.rr.com

My favorite Mr. Bubbles memory is from college….the entire women’s cross country team all sent away for Mr Bubble’s T-shirts…(Makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty….LOL)
Yay! I remember using Mr Bubble growing up!
My sister and I used Mr. Bubbles as a kid and so do my kids and their cousins. It’s all about making the weird hairstyles once you have tons of soap in your hair…
Oh my word–my three year old ADORES bubbles! This would make her year if I was to win 🙂 While I can’t think of any specific Mr. Bubble stories, I’m sure if we won this we would make lots of them for the future!
I loved Mr. Bubbles when I was a kid!! My kids haven’t tried them yet but I would love to win some of their products to let them try!
When my kids were younger, Mr. Bubbles was part of the daily ritual. I would add the color dyes that Avon uses in their bathtime wall painting sets and make some colored bubbles for the kids which they loved (mind you, the color was not great, but I think they really appreciated the effort!)
I remember taking baths with Mr Bubble. I so loved that pink bottle.
I can remember when I was about 9 and my mom got me a pink bottle of bubbles. Love bubbles.
I love mr bubble!
I used to LOVE Mr Bubble Bubble Bath! There is nothing quite like sitting in a tub full of suds; giving yourself a bubble beard and writing on the walls with bubbles
We love Mr Bubbles. Thanks!
We’d love this at our house! Thanks.
I love Mr. Bubble & wish his party was closer! I would love to win this prize for my son. He loves bubble baths!
My favorite memory of Mr. Bubble was his song–Mr. Buba-buba-bubble in the tub-a-tub-a-tubble. At least that is the way I remember it from when I was very little.
I so remember helping my mom pour the pink powder into the tub and watch it turn into bubbles. Loved it. Now there are so many more products that my kids get to enjoy.
We love Mr. Bubble!!!! And it is a “Special Treat” for my 6 & 8 year old boys when they get to use it!!! The other day I yelled out DOUBLE BATH with MR. BUBBLE and they were SO EXCITED!!!! The bubbles were endless fun and they had pruny fingers and toes by the time they came out!!!! The simplest joys of childhood fun!!! 🙂
Mr Bubble has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. all three of my kids gave grown up with him too. i have some great photo’s of my kids playing in mountains of bubbles in the tub. O love those moments.
I have used “Mr Bubbles” to get my 3 yr old granddaughter over her fear of bathtime!! When it’s fun, it can’t be scary!!!
“So clean your mom won’t know you!” 🙂
Mr. Bubble is such a favorite. simple, clean and classic. I used it as a kid, my kids used Mr. Bubble, and I still buy it for gifts! so cool.
How could I ever forgot that pink bottle from my baths when I was little!
I hope I’m able to go. FYI it’s stinking COLD here! Bring a good jacket. I remember growing up with Mr. Bubble in the bathtub! Who can forget a pink bottle like that? It always made me so happy!
My daughter loves bath time. I can’t get her out of the tub, lol. Thanks for the chance!
One of my boys has been swimming on a swim team almost every night. When he gets home, he just wants to soak in a nice warm bubble bath! He would love all the Mr. Bubble products for his bath!
I remember using Mr. Bubble when I was a kid. I think it only came in powder form back then. I also remember the commercial with the jingle, “Mr. Bubble in the tub gets you squeaky clean”. altern147 [at] yahoo [dot] com
My boys love Mr. Bubble!
One of my recent favorites is my toddler using all the foamy spray stuff at one time on the bathtub when not even taking a bath. LOL
My kids grew up with Mr. Bubble, as did I and now my grandsons are using it! Mr. Bubble will live on forever because kids love it so much.
My kids favorite before bed time is Mr Bubbles bathtimes 🙂
