[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is the most fun we’ve had as a family since the Colorado winter ended, and COVID-19 started. I figured out a few tricks to help make it easy to fill them all fast. Some reviews mentioned the balloons dry up due to long shelf life, so I drenched all the balloons before filling. I used empty laundry baskets to put the full balloons in, because the hot ground pops them. (DO NOT let filled balloons touch the ground). Once full or close to full, the weight of the water pops the balloons right off to seal themselves with a small double-looped rubber band. The rubber bands are not small and tight enough, so some of the “less than full or smaller” balloons leak slowly. Some reviews mention leaking out in their cars while driving somewhere, so the more water that is in the balloon the tighter the rubber bands will seal them. To minimize leaks, get the balloons as FULL AS POSSIBLE if you’re going to FILL-N-GO somewhere. Transport in buckets or something that can hold liquids without tipping over in your car. The balloons also do not fill up evenly, some will bust before the rest fill up. So as soon as the first 1-3 balloons fall off and seal, I give the hose a “solid quick UP and DOWN motion” and the weight from the rest will all fall off together at once and seal up immediately. The balloons collectively get pretty heavy while filling. Here in Colorado, water from the hose stays cold all year, even in the summer. The fact that the balloons are filled with freezing cold water during summer makes it a whole lot more fun. I am definitely buying more all summer. Perfect for after dinner family activity to exert energy and exhaust the kids before shower and bedtime.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Very good value.. Super easy to use. I do an annual balloon fight every year on the 4th of July and we fill up nearly 2000 balloons. ( adults and kids play) Usually by hand and tie which takes hours. But it's also only a few bucks ... I think the price is reasonable.. And no matter what the other reviews say I don't care !!!\nafter using 40 packs of these I only broke an average of 2 to 3 Balloons In each bundle. Some I broke none ...some i broke maybe 5... ( out of 100 youll break any average of 5-7.. and that's because sometimes they pop hitting the ground. The only one thing I would say is do not fill these up ahead of time time. I tested 1 bundle prior.. And they were 40% deflated deflated 2 days later. But the rest I filled up the morning of the 4th of July and were perfect to throw by time the evening rolled around. They break properly like any other balloon wood. none are extremely tough to break. And none are very weak or blow up in the hand besides a select few like any other Cheap hand tie balloons woould."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are SO cool!! Super easy to use and fill up. Fun for hours for the kids. The worst part was clean up because there were so many. My son is begging me to get some more of these. All you do is attach the nozzle to a hose and the balloons fill up, seal off, and drop off all by themselves. No tying or trying to squeeze them over anything.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The party came alive when we brought out the water balloons. They were easy to attach to the hose and fill up, and the kids had an absolute blast throwing them at each other and trying to catch them…they loved it!\n\nNow for the not-so-good news; At least 1/3 of the balloons “immediately” popped, just while filling them with water. And some of them would only take a small amount of water, so they were really tiny. Only about 60% of them were fully usable. But for the price, we definitely got our money’s worth. I would buy them again.\n\nAlso 350 balloons might sound like a ridiculous amount, like way too many….but we went through them all pretty fast! The balloons were the highlight of the party.\n\nNOTE: in the Amazon product listings, the balloons are shown being filled in a large tub of water. After the birthday party, someone told me that doing this prevents some of the problems with immediate popping. So, I’ll definitely try to use a big tub of water next time.\n\nThe balloons are “very” thin. But that also means no one gets hurt by getting pelted with water balloons, so it’s all good.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Remember when we had to blow up every balloon by hand as a kid? Not any more!! These are a dream come true when it comes to balloons.... 30 in all and fill quite easily.... if it doesn't fit your hose or sink component you can just hold the filler end firmly against a stream of water and they will fill. once almost filled you can give them a shake and they fall off to the ground like ripe fruit!!! They are really fun to play with... not too oversized that they become dangerous to throw. The only downside is they do leave shreads of little plastic when they pop that you have to clean up.... but part of the deal! Highly recommend. I am on my 3rd order during quarantine!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We ordered these water balloons for a birthday party. The plan was to fill them at home and bring then to the park with us in plastic bins. On the way, a number of balloons popped from the movement during the ride.\n\nThe packaging is a simple cardboard box, not the flashy commercial packaging. I'm fine with that! Less waste as far as I am concerned, but some people might want the flashier packaging if it's for a gift.\n\nAll around satisfied! The product itself is great. The kids had fun. Just wish we'd been able to fill the balloons on site so less were broken accidentally."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "We got these to play with our nephew over the summer. They were really easy to fill up. It probably took us like 5 mins to fill up a large cooler with the balloons. I like how there is a measuring label included so you know how big the should be filled. I too away one star because I felt like these didn't pop easily. I felt like if we filled them larger than recommended then maybe they'd pop easier but we never got a chance to test the theory. We ended up kinda squeezing the balloons with our hands to make them pop but non the less it was a great time! One more note fill up more than what you think you need because we ran out of ammo fast and at the park we could not fill more."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Perfect for my three boys. The balloons were easy to fill. They’re using one bunch at a time, gives them plenty to play with and the pack of balloons will provide multiple times of water balloon games.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I mean they work. You can fill 30 balloons in a minute. It would take me over a minute to make 1 prior- prob 25 as half would break when filling. Also no more issues of hose connections blocked by rubber at your spigot from the temindnyd of broken balloons… which is nice.\nYes done break but so do all water balloons when filling. I’m thrifty and I still day it’s with the money, BUT I will make my kids fill their own water balloons when they turn 8. As everyone SHOULD because the time it takes to make that many halons reduces the broken balloon pieces that you’ll never fully remove from the lawn'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought this for the grandkids 3 and 10 and I think I enjoyed them just as much. My highlight was attaching it to outdoor faucet and seeing all the beautiful colors fill up in a flash. Leave them attached to faucet as you pull them off. The water back flows once you take off faucet. We love them! They work for lots of laughs and fun!'}]
