ping pong balls

Lightweight hollow spheres

Ping pong balls are the small, lightweight, hollow plastic spheres used in table tennis.

Their near-weightlessness makes them useful for physics demonstrations, beer pong, and craft projects.

The phrase sometimes appears in hypothetical quantity problems: How many ping pong balls would fit in a school bus?
