Bubbles

[Steve_ref]

What is the largest bubble ever blown (volume)? Theoretically, given atmospheric pressure, surface tension, etc, what would be the largest size that a bubble could be blown to?

There was a recent world record number-of-people-inside-a-bubble (I think it was 29) but it wasn't strictly a whole bubble, if you see what I mean.

However, it hasn't been updated on this website:

The maximum size of one bubble would depend on the medium and concentration thereof used to blow the bubble with. This determines the surface tension and so the maximum size.

If there was some commercial demand for this, I am certain that some scientist could come up with a solution that would blow a bubble bigger than a house.
