    And as an added bonus, if you happen to tip it over, it's self-extinguishing. You know, as long as it's actually in the bathtub.

    "Just like a real steam boat, this six-inch version moves because of expanding steam pushing away from water."

    I'm pretty sure that's not how real steamboats work. But this little gal can be forgiven for being so darn cute.

    A real man makes a boat/raft out of toilet paper rolls, toothpicks, and plastic forks. And the sail out of scabs and dynamite.

    Won't all that PET get all distended being pressurized and exposed to the raw/reflected UV/direct sunlight/heat? Perhaps as a publicity stunt, they could navigate to the twice the size of Texas plastic island that doesn't exist.

    @Gann:


    That's not a reflection. It's the keel. They made it identical to the topside, for when that thing flips, kinda like those VW Beetles with two front halfs welded together.

    That's nothing, I once made a boat in the 3rd grade with a milk carton, a straw and a piece of paper. I was able to recycle 99% of it and I ated the rest.
