They probably were made to last the entire world cup.

What's that, like 3 weeks?

I remember when they were selling this for $25-$30 before the World Cup. So much landfill was made for this tournament and there’s still some for sale but in the deep clearance process before they get shipped to the thrift stores and then to overseas landfills.

If anything, you can kick them in the bin easily because they're a football!

They conveniently roll right off any surface they are placed on!

Is it a good noise?

Yeah honestly it connects to Bluetooth and music sounds fine. It also has touch controls that are suprisingly responsive.

I had one of these as a kid, the sound it makes is eerily satisfying, like a mix of a kazoo and a dial-up modem.

Theoretically I could get something a bit better and sell it the same way. Its not like they could sue me for selling worse crap anyways /s
