Bunch O Balloons 3 Pack

I had an event where I had to bring 100 water balloons. Well, none of the moms wanted to bring these because of all the work. Fortunately, my husband found these and they worked easily and quickly. I screwed these into the water hose, held above the bottom of the ice cooler (what I chose to store and transport them in), they started popping off as they filled up and then turned the water off when done. Out of the 100, there were two with small holes and it came with like 5 extra. I already bought more of the color variety for my boys.\nNotes:\nHold the balloons above (but not too far above) the bottom of the container / sink instead of letting them sit on it so they "pop" off as they fill up.\nAs the balloons pop off the "straw", water will come out of the straw still and can make a mess. Recommend filling them over an ice cooler where you can drain excess water or somewhere it won\'t make a mess (so not a shallow container in your car)\nIf you are going to put the balloons more than one layer deep, put extra water in the container to make the top layer buoyant. It is a rubberband that keeps the water in the balloon and the weight from the balloons on top will push the water out of the balloons on the bottom.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'SOME TIPS:\nOnce the balloon is filled with water the seal will pop off and close the balloon. Use a water bucket to ensure they won\'t pop. The first time I wasn\'t sure if the balloons will drop on their own once they are filled up. You would actually need to lift up the water hose so they can drop in the water bucket. It\'s a genius design.\n\nDon\'t fill them up unless you are going to use it within the next 15 min, the balloons don\'t stay filled for long so make sure you use them up quick.\n\nIt\'s better to fill these balloons slower with less water pressure to get larger balloons.\n\nI was looking for some fun backyard games for the 4th of July BBQ party. We had some 15 young couples with their kids over, we first thought the new inflatable pool and the inflatable jumping castle was going to be the highlight for the kids, but I was wrong.\n\nOnce I got the water balloons out for the kids, everybody including the adults had to get involved and run for safety not to get wet. The adults end up going for the first 100 balloons, which were intended for the kids. I was glad I got over 300 balloons for that day, so we set up new rules where only kids can throw the balloons and the adults can only hit back if they were able to catch it.\n\nWe also played another game where kids and parents all line up and try to pass the balloon to each other without getting it to pop.\n\nThe kids had the best time with these balloons. For next year I am planning on getting a good 1000 balloons. It only took around 45 seconds to fill up each patch.\n\nThe price of $10 for 100 balloons is somewhat expensive @ 10 cents per balloon. I wish there was an option to buy 500 or 1000 balloons for $20-30.\n\nI have to say, the adults had more fun than the kids. Would love to hear some other game ideas.\n\nI highly recommend this product! If my review helped you, could you please click "helpful" button below. Thank you!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "**2020 UPDATE : I notice there are negative reviews for these balloons 🎈 The common theme among them is that they filled them up (often incorrectly) and then LET THEM SIT for an hour or even all afternoon before using & then complain that they aren’t working. Um, hello? Clearly user error.\n——————————————————-\nThis was one of those things my kids had been begging for for a while but I was sure would turn out to be junk so said no. Decided to take the plunge and get some for a summer birthday and I couldn't have been more wrong in my assumption (you know what they say when one assumes...)\n\nFirst off, it seems that the majority of the product - balloons & rubber band-like ties - are made from bio-degradable materials! Super surprised about that. So as I picked up hundreds of ballon fragments from the lawn I was less concerned with getting every little bit (and there were lots of bits)! They recommend that before filling them up you place the balloons in a tub of water large enough for them when they expand, which I did and makes sense so they have something to cushion and protect them. It really took all of 5 minutes for me to set everything up, figure it out and GO! I had 33 water balloons! There were only a couple per 100 that were duds, having sprung holes in them off the bat. I continued to be the ammunition supplier and could produce 33 balloons every minute if we had an endless supply. So, so easy and a blast for everyone!\n\nMy only complaint is that they went so fast. If you wanted the war to go on for a decent amount of time it would become very costly, as war always is I suppose."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Honestly...there are a lot of reviews about these not working or not being worth your money. I bought these with the expectation that some would pop...I mean how many do you pop when filling them up without this easy set up?? 20 or less popped or deflated by the time the party actually took place about 30 minutes later but in all reality I am giving it 5 stars because I would still rather pay for this that took me less than a minute to fill up 100 water balloons and lose 20 than to spend hours filling up 100 water balloons that most will pop and spill everywhere as I am tying them anyways. I definitely recommend if you have better things to do than to fill up a million water balloons. I don't recommend if you are worried about having exactly as much as are on the bag...but what fun is that? :)"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'You get about 80/100 balloons because the balloons fill at an uneven rate, and some of the balloons release too quickly which decreases the water pressure and flow to the left over balloons. You have to bend the open tubes to close it off line a valve. BUT regardless we had a ton loads of fun. Especially during quarantine. We made water balloons a weekly holiday. (Also, you don’t see the grenades after filming them, but still cute).'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These could not be more fun! Except I need about 1,000 more since we live in the south and our pool is closed. I’ve basically had to ration them out to the children or they’d be gone in an hour. Love these things! My only complaint is that they are hard to come by right now.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I rarely write reviews....but these little guys were great! Daughters first birthday party along with my step daughters 3rd, we built a water activity birthday party and had a dozen+ kids running around and having a blast.\n\nNo...the fill isn\'t absolutely perfect....and yes they leak. But to the folks who review poorly, I say let them fill 100 water balloons the old way. Not thank you. Even if half of the balloons failed before getting to use them, that is still 50 water balloons in seconds. I bought two packs and that is 200 ballons....wrap your head around filling and tying off 200 ballons before dogging the product that cost only 10 bucks in triad for hours of work.\n\nBe mindful. These do leak, do not "build" them hours before sending them off. I filled them as needed...this meant they were used up quick and I could stretch out the fun!\n\nI bought two packs and, really, as much as the little ones enjoyed them, my only regret was not buying more.\n\nI absolutely will buy again....and again....and again....until water stuff isn\'t fun for my little ones anymore (and I might still buy them just fill them and splash them when they least expect it...why not!)\n\nBuy them, have fun with them and carry a reasonable expectation of the product.

We love them! I have had 2 separate occasions when using them and each time it makes filling water balloons so simple! I had a huge water balloon fight at my house for a barbecue and these definitely came in handy when one of the teams ran out of ammo! Fast and incredibly easy to use. These will be a staple in our home come every summer. I first saw them on Philip Defranco's wife's YouTube channel and she made it look so simple I couldn't believe it. I immediately placed an order and I am so happy that I did!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We learned the hard way by wasting a lot of the balloons by not filling them over a filled pool of water.

You just screw the nozzle to the hose and turn the hose on and the balloons fill on their own, drop off on their own, and seal themselves! There is a larger rainbow pack of this brand if you want more bang for you buck but my son loved this color.'}]
