If you own a balloon shop, you really should advertize to looners. You'll make a shitload of money off large orders. Edited March 29, 2018 by TrigunBebop 1
Invida Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 You make me almost wish I could be sexually interested in balloons 'cause they look like so much fun.

Expand The first key step would be at least acknowledging that looners exist and supporting (or at least not shaming) them. One of the major balloon manufacturers has already done this. Awhile back, the Italian balloon manufacturer CATTEX came out and said they appreciated that looners derive so much pleasure from balloons, and that they were proud that so many looners choose their balloons. They also said that they're gonna consider what looners like when designing new balloons in the future.

If it became public knowledge that [balloon company] catered to looners, people who are just looking for party decorations might be turned off from the looner association and start boycotting that company. 1

Balloon releases endanger local wildlife and are more or less just littering on a mass scale.), balloon manufacturers might have to start catering more towards looners in the future if they wanna stay in the balloon business. Also, I forgot to mention in the last post that CATTEX has actually already made some balloons that cater specifically towards looners. Their 32 inch and 36 inch longneck balloons were developed because looners love to neck balloons, and no other brand really had any 30+ inch balloons with good necking potential (or any necking potential at all, really). 1

Expand This is a pretty solid argument right here alone. It's good that you are thinking of the environment too. Well it's good that there is at least Cattex to market to the community. I also just looked up a video of what necking was. >_> 1

Sometimes I bust out a looner term and forget to explain what it means. Sorry about that. >.< But yeah necking just means inflating the neck of the balloon (or making the balloon look like a lightbulb). Also, I think the other manufacturers might be starting to follow CATTEX's example a little bit. For instance, 36 inch Tuftex balloons are now significantly more neckable than they used to be (and there really isn't much of a functional reason to make a balloon more neckable outside of appealing to looners).
