Why did the bubble solution do this?

Bottle on the Right: opened and used one time, then half of it fogged up like this! Why did it do this?

My bet would be contamination or precipitation

That’s wild 😂💀 I wonder if the soap fought it and that’s why only half of it is like that?

how long after it was opened did you notice the fogging?

I noticed it a few days to a week after opening it 🤔

What happens when you agitate it?

I haven’t tried but I shall (and film it for research)

I agitated it and the whole thing got cloudy. After a while though, the foggy stuff settled at the top again!
