ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vuvuzela

A vuvuzela is like a long whistle that people blow at sporting events, especially soccer games. It's made of plastic and it's about as tall as a grown-up person. When a person blows into it, it makes a loud, buzzing sound that sounds like a bee or a swarm of bees. People like to blow it for fun and to show their support for their team. Some people say it's annoying because the sound is so loud and constant, like a big group of buzzing bees. But others think it's fun and adds excitement to sporting events.
