- Nition 2y agoGood point, I guess they probably did mean scour the country for suppliers, rather than ball machines! Even in context you could read it both ways: > First, they had to scour the country to acquire the 250,000 bouncy balls needed to create the critical mass. “They bought every bouncy ball west of the Mississippi,” said Ranahan. “There was not a single bouncy ball in any machine in America for a couple months. I felt so bad for the poor children,” said Fuglsig.
