THUNDERstix

"Er, what's a thunderstick?"

An excellent question, Jeane, and one you were not alone in asking me.

Thunderstix (as it turns out they are actually called) are inflatable plastic tubes designed to combine maximum visibility of your logo or colour scheme with the ability to make a deafening racket. Usage instructions follow, so pay attention: there may be a quiz at the end.

Step 1: Have someone else blow the Thunderstix up for you because blowing them up yourself will make you giddy and slightly queasy and sorry you had that burrito for lunch.

Step 2: Grip each Thunderstix firmly at one end. Do not grip one Thunderstick at both ends because it won't make any cool noises whatsoever. I can't emphasize this enough.



Step 3: Bash Thunderstix together repeatedly ensuring full contact along entire length for maximum thundery noise output.



Step 4: Scream as hard as you can.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3-4 until you pass out.



There you have it. Thunderstix!
