Ping-pong ball
From A KoL Wiki
ping-pong ball
It can stand up to the tremendous impact of a paddling, but gets crushed if you so much as look at it sideways. It symbolizes the comfort of a childhood basement, but also the squalor of a debauched frat house. It's white, but it's also round. In short, the ping-pong ball is an object of contrasts.
