LOL! that's what I thought about the set that were on the coach when I
bought it! they looked great!
I had 6 "maypops" that one at a time, on each trip, had a bubble in them the
size of a football when we got to the campground. We were fortunate enough
to be able to replace them in the campgrounds, the 6th blew a few miles from
home, taking a corner of the coach with it.

maybe I can sell them on ebay.....
