Balzac no longer for sale in any of the Disney parks

[MAF]

OMG, my trip is now RUINED! :fork:

But seriously, did anyone actually ever buy one of these?

 

[GatorGuy]

I've had a couple thrown at me, but it has never gone through my mind to buy one.

But the real question is, what will happen to all these carts? :ROFLOL:

What about other great classic authors? Dickens? Austen?

I LOL'ed. :lol:

Im sure going to miss getting hit in the back while walking past the stand in epcot.

You mean a CM hit you in the back with their Balzac? :lol: :ROFLOL:

I'm sorry that was immature.

It sounds like an obnoxious way to try and sell something, so I guess I'm not surprised no one bought them. Also who would buy something called a Balzac in the 1st place? Or think that's a good name for a product? Or greenlight the slogan that they used in Balzac commercials in the 90s, "Bet ya can't bust Balzac!"

Was one of these carts located next to Splash Mountain? That would be a killer spot to sell ShamWows!

I'm pretty sure the Balzac company stopped making product 15 years ago and it took them this long to sell off their inventory.

My mom bought one of these for me when I was a kid. I'm surprised they've been in the parks this long.

Good riddance!

See, we're losing comedy gold here!

 

[SorcererMickey]

Thank the gods! Though I did see many children enjoying the interaction with the Balzac CM's, they always annoyed the crud outta me throwing their Balzacs at random people. =)

 

[bstiles]

It seemed like a toy from the eighties, probably wasn't any fun, I mean I get the whole bal part but what exactly is "zac"?

 

[thelookingglass]

Well, its the thin layer of material that encases the balls

 

[JIMINYCR]

But the real question is, what will happen to all these carts? :ROFLOL:

Maybe they can bring in those paddle ball toys. The ones where the small rubber ball is attached to the paddle with a long rubber band. I can't think of anything else that would replace the Balzac that would be as annoying.:ROFLOL:

 

[Ignohippo]

I say they should be given out as bonuses to current management.

So, you're saying you'd like to slap WDW management upside their heads with your Balzac?

Sound like a good idea.

 

[SMRT-1]

there is a god.

HEHEHE!!!!!:sohappy::ROFLOL::lol:

 

[PalisadesPkteer]

The only reason they had them was so you could practice for this "sport"

Knew it all along! 'Never miss the tournament on the Ocho! LOL!

And as a response to JIMINYCR's thought..

Before balzac, I got my first Koosh ball in the Epcot breezeway back in 1991. Let's bring in another new soon-to-be-outdated toy...stat!
