Giant Bubbles

Green Lake Park is one of my favorite parks in the Seattle area. One day I was walking there and ran into a man who was making giant bubbles for the kids (and adults alike).

I asked the guy for recipe on video but I lost the recording. A little internet search reveals the following (very similar to what he told me) recipe:

1. 1. 6 cups water (distilled is best but tap water is fine)
   2. 1/2 cup blue Dawn dish detergent I used “ultra concentrated”. Dawn original is even better.
   3. 1/2 cup corn starch
   4. 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda)
   5. 1 tbsp Glycerine (or if ya got it, personal lubricant)

I also took a video of the encounter:
