I appreciate the plastic balloon clips that come in Balloons United orders

They allow for a much more intense overinflation experience than having to knot the balloon's neck.

Isn't it by law all mylar balloons have clips to keep them from getting to power lines?

I dunno.

I'm only familiar with latex balloons and latex balloon accessories.

Do you use Hi float at times?

I generally avoid it.

Hi-float hardens balloons, and I like balloons to be soft.

Plus, if the balloon pops before the Hi-Float fully dries, it makes one hell of a mess.

Makes good sense, gotta make those balloons natural as possible.

Nah. They're just white plastic clips.

Lame. They should at least have an animu image or something.

For certain activities I still need a knotted neck though.

Anything that involves a lot of squeezing or squishing. <_<

Right, or the air will squeeze through the clip?

It's more like if you squeeze the balloon too hard, the neck will bulge out too far and get snagged on the clip (which can easily pop the balloon).

Also, if the clip isn't on the balloon properly, it can shoot off the balloon when you squeeze it.

Why can't you get into popping?

Because I love interacting with balloons in general, and once a balloon pops there's not much you can do with the scraps.

not popping the balloon = more fun

So the popping itself isn't necessarily bad, just not nearly as good as the alternative?

Exactly.

Plus, loud noises still startle me quite a bit. >.>;;

Loudest darned thing I ever heard when I wasn't tripping. o_o

The loudest noise I ever heard was when I accidentally blew a punchball balloon up until it popped.

I actually lost my hearing for a bit after it happened. >.<
