Comparing BamBams and Thunderstix
We offer two different inflatable noisemaker
products: Bam Bams and Thunderstix®.
This grid shows the main differences in the products.
The primary difference is packaging. Bam Bams are packed in small poly bags, which makes them easier to distribute. Thunderstix are packed in bulk.
Costs are similar, but typically Bam Bam pricing is a little more competitive.
Thunderstix are Made in the USA, Bam Bams are not.
At Gameops.com we offer both, but typically price Bam Bams for our clients unless they specifically request Thunderstix.

- Thunderstix v. Bam Bams: Comparing BamBams and Thunderstix
Summary: Gameops.com offers both Bam Bams and Thundersticks. With two primary advantages we typically recommend Bam Bams. First, pricing tends to be a little better with Bam Bams. Second, for ease of distribution Bam Bams are packaged in pairs making it easier to handle (unless you plan to drape 2 over each seat).
For teams who must have products MADE IN THE USA, obviously Thundersticks have an edge.
Unless noted specifically we typically quote the product that best fits your request (either by price or delivery timelines), but we always note in our quote which we are quoting. We do this since the terms "Thunderstix", "Bangers", and "Bam Bams" (to name a few) while trade names are commonly exchanged for each other. We try to use the generic term of "inflatable noisemakers", when discussing this product, but we always clarify our quotes using the tradename of the product we are quoting.
