I've just ordered one of these...

Now, me and the misses are about to go on holiday - my dilemma is, should I just exchange this with her (very similar looking) one and not tell her - or tell her about it and see if she's game?

I think you already know the answer to this question.

I think
so too - however, she is usually game for a laugh (in a non-beadlesque way), so she might go for it.

It'll be more fun the other way around though - I just have to get to the parcel when it arrives before she does ;-)

Do you like having a girlfriend?

(PsychoChomp, Thu 6 Aug 2009, 16:37, Reply)

Ha
Yeah, she's good.

I still think she'll see the funny side.

I think she might see the funny side
if you bring a spare bikini with you!! :)

Yeah
I might just hide hers in the car, rather than exchange it.

I wonder how quickly they work though? They can't just dissapear, surely?

Hmmm...
I'm not sure, its quite a weird idea!? Maybe it doesn't quite disappear, maybe the straps just come apart so the bikini would fall off in the water rather than have it actually dissolve?? It is posted in The Sun remember!!

True
It's in the Sun, so it *must* be true!

Would you see the funny side?
*packs dissolving bikini*

In fact, you'd probably be suckered in by one of those bikinis that are made out of sweets:

Yeah, "I think she'll see the funny side"
That's one of those phrases like "what happens if I cut this wire"

Hehe
That's what I was just thinking! 'What happens if I press this button marked DO NOT PRESS'

WHAT?
EDIT: Oh. Look, it was only a small fifteen foot drop, OK?

Camping.
Devon. Too much booze. Austin Powers. Hanging off a balcony. Jumping off a balcony. Rolling down a hill. Gravel path. Hurty legs.

Ringing any bells? Hehe

get her to try it in a hot tub

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 6 Aug 2009, 16:43, Reply)

It might not dissolve uniformly
I doubt she'll get in the pool and the thing dissolves quickly "eek I'm naked!".

It'll probably dissolve slowly and in a non-uniform way. The thinnest parts will wear through first, so she'll figure out what's going on with a tattered remains of a bikini looking like she's just changed back from She-Hulk on holiday. Probably with black dye running down her legs and torso.

I don't want to spoil your dreams, but you need to take a cynical view before launching into this.

This^! I think you're right about the black dye too!! :S

Not to mention
that parts of the bottom half may start to dissolve before she gets into the water.

I have a feeling it would
all go horribly wrong and an idea that would have originally been considered 'a bit of a giggle' would turn into a 'trip to the emergency room to have a deck chair removed from an arse'

I reckon he'd be better off
getting a sweetie one. Though every time he bit one of them off, the elastic would ping her and she might get a bit fed up of that after 248 times.

This is also very true
Those candy sweeties are difficult enough to eat when they're just a necklace. Many was the time as a wee flim-flam I pinged myself in the face! :(

Also..
"But women's rights campaigner Rosmarie Zapfl stormed: "It is an absolute insult to women that this has been invented"

a: I bet she didn't storm at all, probably muttered it to a reporter and
b: She appears to be named after a font.
