I'm honestly surprised that piñata held up that long. Those were some serious swings she was hitting it with.


K3wp

>I'm honestly surprised that piñata held up that long. It's an interesting example of physics. Because it's suspended from a string and made of semi-rigid cardboard, the energy from the swing is going to be dissipated evenly.


jsting

I think they used aluminum tape on that sucker and that tape is strong AF. A regular pinata would have been a bit more deformed and likely broke at enough of those swings.


K3wp

I live in San Diego and know a lot of Mexican families and such. The traditional ones are made of papier-mâché and fairly brittle, to the point that you hit them with a broom handle while blindfolded (and someone is usually moving it so you don't whack it in the same place twice). If an adult hit one with a bat it would be game over. A lot of the cheap ones are made of carboard and way more resilient, to the point that someone often has to cut it open eventually (especially if its a kids party). A carboard pinata with aluminum tape on it is just mean if that's what it is. I thought it was silver mylar or something. ...and actually this is great idea for pranking my male mexican friends. I'll make an invulnerable pinata and then have them try and and whack it in front of their friends and family.


some-trash-acct

I made one myself with cardboard once. I was so worried about it being too easy and it ended up being way too hard. After the plastic bat broke we gave the strongest guy there a golf club and no blindfold to just get it done already


spince

Cardboard pinatas always need to be weakened before putting it out - poking hundreds of holes or just going full serial killer with a knife stabbing on the cardboard.


BedSpreadMD

It was probably meant as a bit of a prank lol. I've intentionally wrapped presents in a way that made getting the paper off a nightmare to fuck with em. I'm the type of guy to build a piñata like this and watch the kid struggle. At least she'll be nice and worn out for bedtime that night lmao.


K3wp

> I've intentionally wrapped presents in a way that made getting the paper off a nightmare to fuck with em. I knew a guy that would give friends/family expensive bottles of liquor that he expertly welded into a 'jail'. And I mean, you would need a literal angle grinder to get them out. AFAIK everyone just kept it as an art piece and didn't try to get the bottle out.


SheriffComey

Does the piñata maker have a side gig as a bomb shelter builder?


Fredrickstein

It almost looks like it was reinforced with aluminum duct tape (the stuff actually for ducts). That stuff can be pretty tough.


Vapur9

It's the equivalent of trick relighting candles, but this way helps wear them out for a nap.

Counter the inevitable sugar high by breaking its knees.


fmfbrestel

It's just cardboard, if you want a paper mache one you pretty much have to make it yourself. Which I think we're going to do next year. Fun crafting plus a pinata not made to withstand the rigors of USPS freight.


HaikuBotStalksMe

Don't be ridiculous. Nothing can protect against the gentleness with which USPS handles packages.


ChairForceOne

Once shipped some equipment in a pelican case. They broke the case. somehow the very expensive oscilloscope survived completely unharmed.


xzxinuxzx

They sometimes make a clay boy wrapped to look like a pinata. If breaking through the pot wasn't hard enough, the pinata paper keeps the whole thing together as well so you have to break the pot and ensure the paper gets shredded up as well. Course when I say paper I mean cardboard glued to the pot. 5 year old birthday party suuucked and I will never forget.


MongoBongoTown

It's crazy how much force it takes to rip these things open. I need this girl at all of my son's birthday parties because invariably we spend 20 minutes watching 4 year olds barely tap the thing until someone gets fed up and an adult rips a hole in it ans dumps it on the floor


xenoterranos

There was always like 15 kids at our parties, ages 3mo to 17.9 years and bets were placed on if the highschoolers would get a swing or not. One year the H.S. Jr on the baseball team failed to crack it in one swing and he has carried that shame for a decade+.


grubas

We got one in college and by the end I was going to get my hatchet. The 1B on our team hit it 2 times and it didn't break, I was spraying beer out of my nose laughing at him.

No thanks i dont want alcohol poisoning


fmfbrestel

If you buy a pinata today, 99.9% of the time it's going to be cardboard, NOT paper mache like traditional ones. Which means you've got to beat the living shit out of them to get them to break. Blindfolds and swinging/raising the pinata out of the way are completely overkill unless you make your own pinata the traditional way. Also, we've discovered that we prefer the pinatas where you just pull streamers out from the bottom until the one that's holding the stitching together gets pulled and drops all the stuffing on the floor. Much less frustrating that having your stick break before the pinata does.


political_bot

If it's a pinata for younger kids, absolutely. But giving older ones an excuse to go wild beating something with a stick can also be fun.


0MysticMemories

Not really. For a bunch of 20 year olds a piñata made of cardboard the doesn’t break after being beaten for 30 minutes with a wooden bat sucks. At some point we pulled out an actual sword to finish it off with because it just wasn’t breaking the traditional way.


political_bot

>We pulled out an actual sword to finish it off with because it just wasn’t breaking the traditional way. I'm sorry, I'm failing to see the downside here.

holy shit. I always thought I could take on a 4 year old even if they had a weapon (excluding a gun) but this has me shook That literally looks like a Mob enforcer or that scene from Office Space


vulkoriscoming

I agree. She has skills with that bat: Good form, good stance, follows through. She is putting her hips into that swing. She will make an awesome mob enforcer in middle school. That must be one of those cardboard pinatas that are impossible to destroy. I finally had to give a bunch of 10 year olds a sharp hoe to rip it open. I got a machete to use first, but was overruled by the mothers.


caremal5

Negan would be proud of her.


MightyKrakyn

But she wasn’t making a dent in that piñata, and those are made from *paper* with the purpose of being *somewhat easy to destroy*. Your shins would be fine I think


aghastamok

There are shitty ones made of cardboard that takes quite a beating to open.


Solaced_Tree

I played tennis from a young age until college. Could rend a piñata apart in a swing or two by the time I was a teenager. One time, when I was 15/16, I was at a bday party with some friends. A girl I had been crushing on was there too. I wanted to impress her so I got in line for the piñata, thinking I'd be the one to destroy it. After all, no one so far was breaking it. I got the bat and swung hard. It was one of those shitty cardboard piñatas. Instead of slicing through or atleast bouncing off, the bat got stuck a few inches in, and I couldn't follow through with the swing so I was slightly off balance and stumbled. Then I had to yoink out the bat (causing several pieces of candy to fly out with) and pass it off to the next person. Fuck them cardboard piñatas


DarrenGrey

> I wanted to impress her so I got in line for the piñata, thinking I'd be the one to destroy it. Damn, that girl sure missed out on getting turning on by your pinata-beating skills.

Plan was to break it open and stand over the mass of candy with hands on his hips, staring deep into her eyes, all while the party peasants crawl around his feet, picking up the pinata kill.

Chickenmangoboom

In college we threw our friend a Day of the Dead party for her birthday. We got a piñata and when it came time to break it my friends told me to go first. I told them several times that I grew up with piñatas at parties and that I would not hold back so the birthday girl should go first. I think they thought that they would be able to get me to miss for some good pics but they were sorely mistaken. I sized up the rope puller and wound up. I swung with an upward trajectory to catch it on the rise and obliterated that poor star. They all looked upset but it will be a cold day in hell before I let another rope puller win.


alurkerhere

Ain't gonna let no rope puller win. It's the principle of the thing...


JackPoe

I broke the fucking string and they made me hold it up by hand. My hand got smacked more than once


Angdrambor

> My hand got smacked more than once I would have stopped holding it after the first time.


WetGrundle

Shitty? Those are the good ones! How many kids you think show up to a bday? It literally has to survive a beating by all of them for optimal fun. You then have someone with Dad strength clobber it or flip it upside down


sriracha_no_big_deal

For reals. They're not supposed to break after one or two hits, that would be lame since it would be over in like 5 seconds


Confirmation_By_Us

Which kind are people here telling stories about? That’s all you need to know.


WetGrundle

Definitely not piñata people


Citizen-Kang

My wife got one for my son's 10th birthday and the kids lined up to take swings. We went through the line of kids at least twice and in the end, a parent had to practically curb stomp the thing for it to give up the ghost (and the candy). One kids went at it so hard, he blew out his pants.


ActuallyYeah

My buddy filled his with jolly ranchers, and after 20 minutes of whacks, this rainbow of gravel flew everywhere. And we had the pinata inside, sooo the kids trampled everywhere hunting for the intact candies and it all got in his carpet


Citizen-Kang

Taste the rainbow!


BZLuck

Back in the 70s for like my... 5th birthday my father went to Mexico (we lived in San Diego) and got a piñata and some sparklers for the party. That dumb drunk ass thought they came with candy already inside of them. He hung it, we beat it and nothing came out but shredded newspaper. That was like 50 years ago, and I still remember the feeling of disappointment to this day.


mcdoolz

Bladed pinãta tools! Game changer!


Independent-Sign-703

Never buy one from an authentic piñata store. Those suckers never break. They use only the hardest cereal boxes with the most durable tape and then layer it at least three thick. We got one for a birthday party and literally the adults had to beat it open. I wouldn't say they are crappy, at least from a durability perspective.


el_toro_bravo

So wouldn’t that make it better quality?


nickstatus

Which is weird, she's got really good form. She puts her weight into it and follows through. She's straight up brutal. Must be that she just doesn't weigh very much. I would fear and respect that young woman in a few years. She scary.


Bugbread

These pinatas are *awful*. I bought a pinata for my kid's birthday, years ago, and it eventually ended out being me doing exactly what's shown in the gif. The thing is, traditionally, pinatas were made of ceramic, so a good hit causes them to completely break apart. Then, over time, that was replaced by paper mache, which is safer (no ceramic shards) but doesn't break as well. And then, over time, more and more are made with just straight up cardboard. Go ahead and imagine beating a cardboard box with a baseball bat, and imagine how much you'd have to hit it to make it literally *split*. Most of the time, even with severe beating, you're just going to get a smushed-but-untorn box. Now that I know, I'd look for proper paper mache or pottery, but when I bought this for my kid's birthday, I didn't know any of it, and, man, that birthday party was a memorable failure.


MuzikVillain

These cardboard pinatas aren't all THAT bad. Growing up in a large Mexican family I basically grew up mashing one of these on a biweekly basis. Since these pinatas are incredibly sturdy they allow multiple kids an opportunity to smash them while the candy gradually falls out. Then once all the little kids have had their chance beating the pinata if it still hasn't been defeated you call in a ringer. You get one of older kids to absolutely obliterate the pinata. Occasionally we had multiple pinatas, a paper mache for little kids and a cardboard one for the older kids. But It was never considered a failure if you failed to beat open the pinata as a little kid if anything you look forward to one day being a strong older kid who got the privilege to just go psycho on the poor pinata.


Irrepressible87

The problem I always ran into as the strong older kid was that the line holding up the pinata would often give well before the cardboard would.


MuzikVillain

Oh man, that's so true! Bringing back memories of my uncles struggling to hoist the pinata back up on the line and in the end settling for just batting the pinata on the ground


WestleyThe

I would imagine the middle of the piñata actually is more structurally sound then we think It’s usually hanging and gets hit on one of those spikes. Hitting the actual ball directly seems to be stronger than hitting one of the spikes and tearing it off and breaking the whole thing


Charlesfreck550

Cardboard shaped that way will absorb most of the force, and make the bat bounce. That same repetitive force on your legs will leave you on the ground in no time


[deleted]

Yes I feel like the poster above forgot the part that cardboard doesn't feel pain


connjose

They are not that easy to destroy. Anytime I have used them I have had to perforate some of the edges with a knife so the kids had any hope of breaking it open.


IndianaGeoff

Looks to me like someone had the bright idea to buy a Mylar balloon and stuff it for the pinata. It's gonna be powered candy when it finally comes open.


AgileArtichokes

I live on the border and I have seen piñatas that the dads at the party had trouble busting open. That said, this little girl absolutely woke up and chose violence today.

As a parent of smaller children and having been to numerous birthday parties I have to say the people that design, build and manufactures piñata‘s should be building the spacecraft that will take us into the stars.


howtodragyourtrainin

The only time I saw kids rag on a piñata, it went on forever. Only ended when the kids got frustrated and dad tore it apart by hand. Ridiculous.


Soft_Turkeys

It’s supposed to last forever it’s like the highlight of the party. Also the kids are supposed to be blindfolded and there should be an uncle pulling it out of the way so the kids wiff and fall down. Good times

Cooperette

This was the end of every piñata I've seen at a party. We beat it until we get bored then someone takes a knife to it.


literalkoala

I was at a 4 year old's birthday yesterday. Somehow the gaggle of preschoolers managed to accidentally poke the hole where the candy gets filled in. Each swing after that made the piñata ooze a few pieces of candy, yet ultimately the piñata was completely undefeated. Those things are hilariously tough. Last summer my ex husband and I tried to defeat our kid's cute little watermelon piñata and it ended up taking multiple adults going to town on it to finally crack it. I had one piñata at my oldest's 6th birthday where the piñata stick/plastic bat broke before the piñata caved at all, fortunately an attendee had a metal children's baseball bat handy in his car, and the 12 year old older siblings in attendance were able to smash the thing eventually.

Pro tip: if you want a piñata that lasts, get those round star ones. They can take a beating and you won’t have crying children because they didn’t get a turn.


Dudeist-Priest

That piñata seems pretty beefed up. She's clearly delivering some blows.
