Amazing Amazon review details the horrors of giant inflatable beach balls
There are small beach toys, there are large beach toys, and then there are downright gigantic beach toys.
You may have seen some of these enormous beach balls in cheery intros of family-friendly sitcoms, but are they actually any fun?
According to this review discovered by Redditor mas1234, apparently, they're not. They're downright dangerous.
Turns out that behind that bright, primary-colored exterior, this giant beach ball, aptly named the Beach Behemoth, is capable of true terror. This Amazon review (which, admittedly, lacks the "Veried Purchase" stamp) recounts a tale of a fun and wholesome outing gone wrong.
"Children screamed in terror at the giant inflatable monster that crushed their sand castles," the review reads. "Grown men were knocked down trying to save their families. The faster we chased it, the faster it rolled."
It's not named the Beach Behemoth for nothing. This chilling (and hopefully true) tale of terror testifies to that fact.
Though it is capable of true destruction and chaos, the Amazon reviewer gave the ball a two-star review, noting its durability. Plus 1 for the Beach Behemoth, I guess.
