Marketed only from 2013 in Canada, POP IT was initially called: "Last one Lost". 
It is then presented as a sensory toy and distributed in specialized stores, because it is primarily aimed at parents with children with disabilities in order to stimulate their senses: First of all, sight, thanks to very bright colors , hearing with an original "pop" sound, and touch with a particular texture and the satisfaction caused by bubbles to be crushed.   Since then, the game has become more popular and billions of POP ITs have been manufactured, sometimes under the name Bubble Pop, Push Pop or Go Pop, but the principle has always remained the same: pop bubbles!   pop pop pop pop them all The game's rules The children came up with different rules for the game. 
The challenges change but the goal always remains the same: not to be the last to burst a bubble.                           It's played in pairs and each participant has the right to squeeze one to three bubbles, but again, the last one to burst one loses!    Another version is to play with a die to determine the number of bubbles to squeeze with one or two fingers.    The addictive game of the summer!
