Fun Express - 11" Assorted Crystal Tone Balloons for Party - Party Decor - Balloons - Latex Balloons - Party - 144 Pieces

I ordered multiplies of this item. Over half the product I received was described correctly, 11" Crystal Tone Balloons. They did appear to be "Halloween Colors" as many reviews have commented, but upon inflation would turn wonderful shades of green, blue and purple. 2-5 per pack were defective (came with holes or had thin spots making them pop on inflation), but I would consider this acceptable. Based on the label, these were bought from Oriental Trading Co. If all the units of my order was this, I would call this a 5 star product.Then there was the other 3 bags in my order. These bag were made of a cheap thin plastic bearing a label "made in china" and bar code "B003BXRU4W". If inflated past 8.5 inches these balloons would pop (measured 3 of them). The colors appeared better in the bag, but when inflated were opaque, not crystal tone. These are not what I ordered. Unfortunately I discovered this far to late and had to use them.Based on the other reviews I am reading here and my experience, it appears this seller buys bulk left over balloons, consolidates them under a single SKU and resells them. So buyer beware and your mileage will vary. I will be trying to get a refund on the 3 packs of improperly advertised balloons.Follow up: Hit up the seller who provide a refund for the 3 bags of improperly advertized balloons.

This would have cost a fortune to buy this quantity at Party City or Walgreens in small packs. These are decent balloons at an unbelievable price for the quantity. That being said, you need to take 20% off the top. Some had holes, others were already halvsies in the bag. A significant number popped while being inflated (with a professional cool air balloon-specific pump), and even more popped randomly within an hour or two after being inflated. Disappointing quality, compared to the old AMSCAN bulk balloons we used to get at our party store.Otherwise, the colors are great. The clear balloons are perfect for putting another color inside, and inflating to make a cool, double-balloon. Still a great value even after taking into account the loss due to breakage.

I wanted a ton of balloons for a small price and this item delivered. It's the first time I've seen an Oriental Trading Company item listed for sale on Amazon that was actually cheaper than the OTC price. I really appreciate all of the people who have taken time to point out that there are no "black" balloons here. I can see where one might think that at first glance. If you look closely in bright light, you can see that the darkest colored ones do vary in hue. Some are clearly more purple and others more blue/green. We won't be using the clear ones. Even having not read the reviews, my husband pointed out that they looked like prophylactics and that doesn't change once they're inflated.

This is my first purchase of "crystal balloons" so maybe I am expecting too much (aka THE IMPOSSIBLE), but I was surprised to see them go from crystal to solid within a few hours. Had I not taken pictures as soon I was done inflating them, I would not have believed they were ever crystal to start with.That being my disappointment, I was otherwise satisfied with the quality and color assortment. Although I should mention that due to the amount of colors included, the amount of each individual color was random: I counted 29 red, 21 orange, 18 green. (There were other colors as well-blue, yellow, crystal clear). So if you intend to make colorful "patterns" this might not be the best buy for you.

I bought these balloons for my 2 year old's birthday. He loved them. They're alright. No defective balloons, but I do have to note that some of the balloons appeared to have dirt in them? Found out from blowing a balloon up and noticed a bunch after as well. Quick rinse and I was good to go. I also have a 1 year old who sticks everything in his mouth. These balloons break VERY EASILY so please make sure you pay close attention to little ones around them. You really get what you paid for.

I bought this item from Viskey and they looked fine. Colors are bright but I haven't blow them more than 9" because they look too thin and may pop if I keep blowing. The really bad thing about them was that mine smelled awful. I need to use a pump instead of blowing them because it is terrible, and it sticks to your fingers. I bought them for my kids to play with them, but rather holding them for hanging them at a party were no body touches them.

We bought several packages of these to create a balloon pit in our living room for our child's birthday party. These balloons work great, as they are large enough to fill a good size room with balloons, and they stay inflated for many days. It fact, most were inflated a week later, when we decided to finally pop them all, which is a lot of fun as well.Out of the whole package, we only had a few that popped during inflation. I was very pleased with these, and would buy them again.

Filled my boss' office with balloons for her birthday, I did have a few pop without being blown up completely. Our manual balloon inflater didn't work either so they were all blown up by mouth and we ended up tasting rubber for the rest of the day and my lips were super dry, it was gross. Color wise, they seemed pretty well assorted.
