Description

The listing, Whoopee Cushion has ended.

This auction is for 1 new whoopee cushion, also known as a ***** bag, windy blaster, poo-poo cushion, turbulent bumbag and Razzberry Cushion, is a party gag practical joke device involving flatulence humour, which produces a noise resembling a "raspberry" or human flatulence. It is made from two sheets of rubber that are glued together at the edges. There is a small opening with a flap at one end for air to enter and leave the cushion.

First inflate it with air, then place it on a chair or squeeze it. If placed on a chair, an unsuspecting victim will sit on it forcing the air out of the opening, which causes the flap to vibrate and create a loud, flatulence-like sound.

The Egyptian Pharaohs were known to employ a prototype at pyramid parties, although the modern version was re-invented in the 1920s by the JEM Rubber Co. of Toronto, Canada, by employees who were experimenting with scrap sheets of rubber. The owner of the company approached Samuel Sorenson Adams, the inventor of numerous practical jokes and owner of S.S. Adams Co., with the newly invented item. Adams said that the item was "too vulgar" and would never sell. JEM Rubber offered the idea to the Johnson Smith Company which sold it with great success. S.S. Adams Co. later released its own version, but called it the "Razzberry Cushion."
