Moms - wish you could help decongest your stuffynosed kid? Dads - wish you could somehow convince junior to blow his nose, not just sniff and wipe? BUNGCO feels your pain. Our researchers have determined that kids do not blow their noses because - they don't know how! Adults blow noses behind a concealing
tissue. There is no reason to learn and practice blowing your nose when you are well - until now.
Introducing the Blownose Buddy! This fun plastic toy has two soft rubber nostril plugs, which can be changed to fit nostril sizes from tot to teen. On exhaling vigorously through the nose, an indiciator rises up the side, and their air pressure triggers hilarous antics by the plastic toy character mounted on top. Characters include Chompy the Quoll, Plunko the Platypus, and all the rest of your favorite BUNGCO Pals. The Blownose buddy has a valve which can be turned to exercise one nostril at a time. With the expansion kit, 2 Blownose Buddies can be hooked together, and family members can compete at noseblow powered games and contests.
But the real payoff is a healthy happy kid. At the same time she is having fun, she is learning a valuable skill - how to blow her nose. The Blownose buddy can be fitted with tissues to catch anything that "comes down the pike". When your kid is sick, just get out the Buddy - and when playtime is done, your child will have a clean, secretion free nose. The Blownose Buddy is dishwasher safe!

Yuck. This is snot what i thought it would be. |
|

Disgustingly useful. My most vivid memory of the color green goes back to childhood, when I caught a glimpse up the nostrils of Sally-from-down-the-street. |
|
|
Does the name [bungston] come from having these problems as a child? |
|
|
Just when you think "plug pops out of nose", a plastic toy character mounted on top does hilarious antics ... I love it. |
|
|
I also didn't know how to smell flowers when I was, like, 6 years old. I would exhale instead of inhale. Could you make a "inhale flower buddy?" too? |
|
|
Reminds me of lostdog's Sneeze Balloons above - another goody. |
|
|
My mom used to have a little hand pump she'd stick up my nose for the purpose--I believe it was made expressly for excavating young nostrils. Not fun. |
|
|
Thought that the title was Brownnose Buddy for a second there... I think it would probably still work. |
|
|
Wonderful idea. Needs a better name though, some sort of characterization, along the lines of Bob the Blower or BlowBob NosePants or something. |
|
|
Hey wait. Nose pants... hmm. |
|
|
[Zanzibar], it may be that your kid is the next step in human evolution. Be proud! |
|
|
"as a valve which can be turned to exercise one nostril at a time" - wouldn't there be a risk of the user overdeveloping their nostrils? |
|
|
Yeah, you need this because it's no
longer legal to give children a plastic
bag to play with. + |
|
|
Okay, I've given up, I can't do anything with "nose pants". Thinkin' maybe Farmer John, maybe this is one for you. Whuddya think.. what do you got for "nose pants"? Ya know, if you're up for it. I remember you really ran with the peeing ghost clock thing. |
|
|
Maybe [po] has something. Didnt she do "nipple pants" a while back? |
|
|
Hmm, nose pants ... nose pants ... like to hang on your nose to stop people looking up your nostrils? Or maybe with tiny, wet, panting tongues to cool off a warm nose? Ah, nose and nipple pants ... a realistic lower leg for keeping horny dogs happier. |

<obligatory misreading> I misread this
as "Brownnose Buddy" - someone at
work with whom you share a pact to
enthusiastically compliment each
others' ideas in meetings. </obligatory
misreading> |
