Homemade Bubbles

My grandchildren love bubbles and I have begun making the mixture for them from scratch. I have recently come across some recipes that include sugar or corn syrup. I have never used these before and was wondering if they are better than the others?

Homemade bubble mixture is a real treat because it can produce the largest and longest lasting bubbles. Actually, the sugar or corn syrup is supposed to make the bubbles stick better but the jury is still out on if it works or not. One thing is certain, it will make a mess if you are planning to blow the bubbles in the house. In case you are interested, there are also recipes for colored bubbles but they, too, should be reserved for outdoor play.
