The questions that arrive most often, answered without a sales pitch. Anything about a specific pack is better answered on that pack's own page, where the real numbers are.
No. Everything on these shelves is closed-cell polyethylene foam. The phrase oodles of noodles has been in English since long before it appeared on a packet of instant ramen, and the food brand that once used it was renamed decades ago — so if you came looking for a food item with an ingredients list, this is the wrong aisle. Nothing here is edible and there is nothing to slurp.
Closed-cell polyethylene foam, extruded as a tube and cut to length. The cells do not fill with water, which is why a noodle still floats on the last day of the holiday.
The standard tube is approx. 48 inch long and 2.5 inch in diameter. Jumbo stock runs 3.5 inch across at 55 inch long, and the MEGA sizes reach 5 inch across at up to six foot.
Price per tube drops sharply with pack size. A pack of two is a convenience buy; the 25-pack and 50-pack are what bring the per-noodle figure down, which is why swim schools order that way.
Foam tracks the price of resin and of freight, and a noodle is mostly air inside a big box — shipping costs more than the material. That is also why a pack of fifty is better value than twenty-five packs of two.
Yes. A bread knife gives the cleanest cut on hollow stock, and a long serrated blade suits solid core. Sand the cut end lightly if it will be handled by small children.
No. The pages here describe the range and link to the listing that sells each pack. Payment, delivery and returns all happen at that shop.
It is read from the live listing and refreshed, but foam prices move with the season. The stamp on each card opens the listing so you can see the figure that applies right now.
Usually, yes. Send the listing address to the deck and it will go in at the next sweep if it is a foam product under this name.
Pool foam is seasonal. Large packs sell through by late summer and return in spring, often under a different piece count.
