Great Zoom Ice breaker
"Ball came uninflated and we had to spend some time filling it but once we got the needle firmly inserted it went up like a charm. Mine is on my desk and i bought a display case to go with. It has held air for three months. I have it positiveness so that people see it on zoom calls and everyone asks about it. It's been a good conversation piece for those difficult moments before the call really starts. A zoom ice Breaker!"
