36 Inch Latex Balloon White (Premium Helium Quality) Pkg/3

Amazing, Huge, Strong and Fun!Ok, my 13 year old son is nuts... he was obsessed with buying a large balloon, and spent hours on Google looking about until these popped up...First: These are REALLY strong: At one point he was bouncing the balloon off our desert-dry grass (yes, we live in California) and the stucco of the house. Then he put about a gallon of water in and blew it up (Thank goodness for air compressors, otherwise I would have passed out from the effort!) Anyway, the kids (16 and 13, but acting like 6 and 3) and the wife and I (ok, we had as much fun) were bouncing this thing around, until the boy decided to make it a water rocket...It was the funniest thing to watch it dump a gallon of water on him, then slowly ascend... No, these massive balloons don't go zooming off like the cartoons... but it's still fun to watch!Helium: I only wish I could fill this up, as I swear it would lift a small rodent skyward (not that we would do such a thing). I am sure it would be a hazard to local aircraft... (hmmm... maybe a full box of aluminum foil... can anybody imagine 30 yards of foil dangling from a balloon?)Anyway, these were not cheap for what they were, but I would buy them again...

These balloons blow up oval shaped, not round no matter how much or little helium you use. 1 out of 6 came with a hole (I bought 2 3-packs) so I would recommend you buy extra to anticipate this, not just enough for your party. Opacity of the white is nice. I settled for smaller than its max capacity which ended up being close to the 24" balloon that Party City sells in a 4-pack for $4.99. Their price to fill up balloons is $7-8 per 36" balloon. Don't think I will purchase these again. I've bought these kinds of balloons before that were the perfect round shape I was looking for. Not just an oversized regular looking balloon.

One balloon came popped. There was no point in returning them because I needed them the exact day I got them. I got them for my daughter's 1st birthday party. The theme was Wizard of Oz so I used them to make our own hot air balloon. To blow up, they needed almost a whole tank of helium that I got from another large retail store. They are huge and great when they are blown up. They popped easily so I wish I got another set, but that's neither here nor there.

Overall, I really liked these balloons. I had a few issues, which led to the 3 star rating.1. The shape of the ballon was not round as depicted in the photo. In order to achieve this look, I had to significantly under inflate the balloons.2. One of the balloons I received had a hole in it.3. When blown up past 50% the balloons became very translucent. I wanted the balloon to retain more opacity as it was blown up.

They were ivory and not white, they also weren't shaped in a complete circle, one had 2 holes in it. It also cost me 16.00 each to get blown up and they store wouldn't add the light inside of it to make it glow so once they sealed the balloon that was it I couldn't even add the light to it before they sealed it. I also once inside the venue and we used them as centerpieces the air conditions blew them everywhere.

These in the photo these look like they are perfectly round (like other 36" balloons I've purchased) but they are not. They are actually more oval and just look like a giant version of a regular balloon. If you want perfectly round (like I did) do not purchase these. They will not match other 36" round balloons.

Loved these balloons! what a great effect! I used them for a dinner dance and they looked like floating moons. They blow up big and I only had 3 balloons with small holes. Get more than two bags just in case.

I am using them to cover for a wedding. I made a practice one that has been being played with by a 4 year old for 2 weeks. No sign of popping. It is as strong as a ball. Will be ordering more very soon. Just wish I didn't have to pay shipping on every separate package when ordering at the same time. $36. shipping on 36 balloons is a little rediculous but the product itself is great.
