    There appears to be a trend lately where people reveal the gender of their new baby using increasingly ridiculous and showy means. I'm assuming she wants a car to do a burn out ie spin its wheels to reveal the gender of her new prince or princess. The child is damned even before its begun its life. :(

    You can get special tyres or something to put on tyres that when they wheel spin/burn/smoke, the smoke would be pink or blue thus revealing the gender.

    I've heard it all now.

    I've just been informed by herself that you can get "Gender reveal" kits in Aldi. One such thing is bursting a balloon containing pink or blue glittery stuff.

    I thought gender reveal meant coming out as in gay! Transgender etc though couldn't work out why you'd want a car to do it

    There's a whole world out there that I gladly know nothing about

    You're not far off! There was a story recently about a car that ended up on fire in Australia after a botched gender reveal.

    Whatever happened to going for a scan, the sonographer tells you if it's a girl or a boy and you go home and tell your family and friends? I thought baby showers were bad enough but gender reveal really is stretching it. What's next, a conception party? :pac:

    A girl I went to school with lives in the US now and had a gender reveal party.

    Her friends circled around her, holding blacks balloons. When they all burst them at the same time, she would have been showered in pink/ blue confetti.

    I say would have, because one of her friend's balloons burst prematurely and ruined the surprise.

    All of this was captured on Facebook.

    Ah lads...I was imagining that it was where you drink something and then your wee turns pink or blue! ! Cos that's how mad things are getting. But it's just a party to meet the new baby...not as bad as I thought. See, this is what exposure to lunatics on Facebook does to me.

    Just googled that and find it even more bizarre. What new parents want to have to host a party so that everyone can coo over the baby? How would you even schedule something like that? Imagine all the germs all over the baby. I've said it (and being wrong) about every American trend such as "baby showers", "gender reveal" parties, but I don't see this one catching on.

    Has this been lost in translation and their "sip and see" would be like our christening where everyone meets the new baby a few months after birth? That would make sense but a party for a newborn is just insane.

    I think it so you are not inundated by constant visitors And that everyone calls on the one afternoon leaving you to enjoy your blissful baby bubble...... I’m weird I liked the visitors....

    Some gimpy ar5ehole in the US shot at gender reveal balloons and caused a huge fire that burned 73 square miles of mostly state land.

    Oh my God. Did you just assume the baby's gender based on its genitalia.

    That's a reference to the casual or part time work docket you get from social welfare where an "O" indicates that you were "on" i.e. you worked and an "X" means you didn't work a particular day. Night shift can confuse it as it means you can end up working 2 social welfare days as part of one shift.
