There are certain things in life one should never do, like hand out raisins to kids on Halloween. In the same vein, one might also want to steer clear of giving their kids the latest toy being marketed by soccer star Lionel Messi.
Called Leo Messi FootBubbles, the toy looks like an incredibly boring way to practice juggling a soccer ball.

I just brought my boys a foot bubbles and it doesn't work!! As soon as they hit the socks they pop
Perhaps sensing the product needed a boost, Messi posted about it on Thursday on his Facebook page, noting, “it's already being enjoyed by kids from all around the world.”
