Worlds Biggest Whoopee Cushion

According to the rules of Guinness if you are going to make a large version of something it has to be of the same materials as the original. For instance, if you are making a giant car it has to work like a car and be made of car parts not just be a cardboard cut out - any fool could do that.

So for our giant whoopee cushion we had to source latex which produced some rather varied results when googled.

It wasn't long before we discovered FourDRubber who kindly sent us a sample pack full of different latex colours and thicknesses.

To their credit they didn't turn a hair when we described what we needed the stuff for. We suspect that giant whoopee cushions are one of the tamer uses for thier silky smooth sheets of natural rubber latex.

We tested the samples by folding them over, holding the edges and blowing into the gap near the fold to find out if they had the required resonnance. Most of them did and for a while we toyed with the idea of creating a whoopee cushion orchestra.

But this has already been done by us using Nuns.
