I have some of those hydrogel beads. They're actually only about the size of millet seeds when fully dehydrated, and they hold water for weeks on end.
@xVoltage21 Not so sure that would be accurate. If the question was how many balls can you detect, then sure, you're right. But you can still see stuff, without being aware of it. If the balls hadnt been there, the water would be much lower. So you see them, you just arent aware. Since we're being picky and all. :)

This show needs to start coming on BBC America. There seems to be a lack of hilarious shows like this in America.

isn't it the surface tension that is greatly enlarged, so actually what you're holding are just balls of water? or am I wrong here?
