Violet Purple Bubble Bursts, Leaving Smoke on the Water

In this short-but-sweet video clip, a seemingly otherworldly purple sphere explodes in an instant after coming into contact with a body of water, leaving a tiny cloud in its wake.

Take a look at this bubble filled with smoke, a fascinating sight.

Bubbles became a symbol of peace and harmony among hippies and flower children in the 1960s, who first popularized recreational bubble blowing. By the 1990's, there were already toys on the market capable of producing huge bubbles. Nevertheless, some Twitter users thought the sphere was a plastic balloon.
