Pop was always my least favorite cereal dwarf.

I like balloons. Had a terror of popped ones when my kids were babies, though.

I never cared for balloons. They’re full of hot air. :)

They’re cuter than bubbles but not as funny, can be wet though…water balloon fight

Litter, ingested by wildlife, causing starvation and death.

Only if you happen to be a completely selfish moron though, let’s make that clear.

Fuck balloons.

I’ve felt this way for as long as I can remember. I think one must have popped in my face when I was a baby.

Fuck balloons right in their balloon asses.

Let’s not forget balloon animals.

I also love the Spanish word for balloons: los globos

One of my earliest memories around age 2–3 was watching my aweseme big white polka dotted helium balloon fly away at the state fair. The string came off my wrist and up, up and away it went.
It was very traumatizing, my little heart was broken. :-(

Picture tiny adorable little blonde girl crying over her lost balloon. haha

When I was young I hated balloons, because I could never blow one :)

And now I hate balloons, because I still can’t blow properly :)

What you do, is you take the balloon, stick the hole in your mouth, close your mouth over it and blow, and blow and blow, then pinch it and tie it up, easy,

Wow, I read this and it sounds REALLY wrong

Love my dog’s reaction when she sees them floating around. Also love the shine and smell of new ones!

Haha, so much balloon hate, I blame fucking clowns.

I came here to mention the helium shortage as well.

The stuff doesn’t just grow on trees.
