We present a curious effect observed during the dissolution process of water-immersed long-chain alcohol drops with an entrapped bubble. When the drop-water interface and the air bubble contact each other, a rapid cyclic motion that accelerates the drop's dissolution is found. We name this eye-catching phenomenon puffing.
