Warning - Balloon Choking Hazard

Disappointed

I bought the big pack after reading the two reviews thinking I would take these balloons to Kenya to use with some school children there. When my 14 year old grandson and I tried a couple today, we were greatly disappointed by their performance. The two we tried barely made it off the ground and the noise they made was nothing special either. I wish I could send the rest back for a refund.

Carolyn, Thanks for your review. A member of our customer service team will be contacting you to discuss the problem you experienced. Sounds like you have a bad batch of balloons, and we'd be happy to replace them or give you a full refund. In the future if you ever have any issues please call us immediately and we'll be happy to help. -- Steve Spangler Science Web Team

Way better than I thought

I didn't expect these to be this cool. I filled them up and passed them out to all the adults at VBS and had them let them go during the opening and WOW, it was like the 4th of July. The kids were so excited. There were a few balloons that either had a leak or blew up when I was pumping them up, so calculate that in when ordering so you have enough. Great product.

The Rocket Balloon with Pump is a fun toy, once the rocket balloon is filled up with air you can let it go and watch it whistle and whip through the air. You can use it just about any where but I recommend that you use it outside and watch where the balloon takes off to.
