Watch what the real life version of 'Hungry, Hungry Hippos' looks like

SYRACUSE, Utah -- Human hungry hippos, the balloon snatching race!

Wait, that's not how the game's jingle goes? Well, it is now.

Tap to watch if you're viewing on the news app.

In the classic game "Hungry, Hungry hippos," players each have one hippo, arranged in a square, and they push down a handle to project their hipppo's mouths to snatch up marbles from the middle. Its real life counterpart, "human hungry hippos," is a little more chaotic, as shown in the video above.

Instead of marbles there are balloons. Instead of the hippo's mouths, they are snatched up with laundry baskets. Instead of being propelled by handles the "hippos" are controlled by elastic bands. And instead of little plastic hippos lunging toward the middle there are humans on rolling platforms.

The epic video above is sure to make any fan of the game feel nostalgic ... and jealous.
