Creative Balloons 5" Latex Balloons - Pack of 144 Piece - Decorator Midnight Black

These very black balloons were purchased to see which of my 250 MW laser pointers would "pop" a small balloon.They will blow up at least about 5", while not being stretched out really thin-walled. The laser pointer that will pop these balloons, does it within 1-2 seconds, at 1.5 meters.For my purposes, they are perfect!

THis balloons are very helpful when you need a 5 inch balloons for decoration, itlast 2 weeks with air, and the decoration looks very beautiful.

Do not waste your money on these. They pop easily & deflate very quickly. I was so embarrassed using these balloons for a balloon garland I had to do for a customer. I ended having to go to party city to get small black balloons. Just keep looking because these are not it.

Exactly what I expected!

I've never seen balloons like these. At first glance they are pretty awesome. They are really dark black, which is great. They are small (5"), as expected. But even when blown up conservatively - not too big - they spontaneously pop at random. The first one I tried did that, sitting on a table with nothing bothering it, within minutes. I thought it was just one-off bad luck, but when we used more of them we had more randomly popping. The weirdest thing is that they don't break into just 3-4 pieces like most balloons. Instead they almost shatter into tiny sliver-pieces. I'd bought them for kids to play with, and ended up giving the rest of the bag (and a warning about the popping issue) to some brothers who thought they were fun. I can't imagine trying to use these for party decorations or centerpieces - they would be disruptive, disappointing, and messy.

They are tiny, so small you cant even blow them up let alone tie them. They are more like 1 in than 5.
