Coconut Oil Bubble

A 6-centimeter bubble with colored oil inside. You squeeze it and the liquid moves slowly; you let go and it stays just as you left it. It doesn’t bounce, it doesn’t return to its shape: it flows.

It’s the weirdest one in the house and the most addictive. It weighs more than you’d expect, feels cool to the touch, and slips through your fingers as if it had a life of its own.

• Texture: liquid. It does not return to its shape on its own.
• Size: 6 cm in diameter.
• Colors: blue, pink, purple, yellow, orange, and transparent.

If it arrives white and solid, it is normal. Coconut oil solidifies below 24 °C, so in winter it may travel in a solid state. Hold it in your hands for a minute and it will return to its liquid state. Do not put it in the microwave or near a radiator.

Caution: do not puncture or open it. If the skin breaks, the oil will leak out. Keep it away from light-colored fabrics and the good sofa.
