Here’s a quick review that I wasn’t expecting to make. I was told by my girlfriend that I was going to have an early birthday party, and that I needed to do decorations. With lots of balloons. Luckily, the regional grocery chain I went to had Zuru’s party goods on clearance. It’s not a normal purchase, but since it was Zuru…I thought I’d at least give it a try.
MUST INFLATE MASS QUANTITIES
At least as far as time savings is concerned, this beats blowing up balloons by a wide margin, even if it’s more expensive.
Tied Together
OH NO! BEING FORCED TO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY!!!
The balloons themselves are manufactured and glued together – they are in groups of eight, with the inflating stems all stuck together (and a clip around them). After inflation, the balloons automatically seal off, and you can just separate the balloons as needed. Or you can keep them all together; it’s your call. Although if you do, it’s possible to inflate them a little more days later, if needed. After all, balloons eventually deflate. It’s an interesting and effective system – one that also advertises itself as being recyclable to boot.
Final Thoughts
The Bunch o Balloons line is a fun way to do mass quantities. Are they more expensive than regular balloons at MSRP? Quite a bit, actually. It’s going to be a bit of a turnoff if you don’t use balloons often, or only in small quantities. If you use a lot, however, or find the balloon packs and pump on sale, it’s worth a bite. $10 for 24 balloons was too much for my tastes, but $2.50 for 24 was enough to justify clearing the shelf. Just means I can fill friends’ cars with balloons on their birthdays and other fun shenanigans!
