    I've realized why I like 16" balloons.

    Particularly the teardrop-shaped ones that Unique make.

    Ever seen a little kid chase a balloon down a hallway and notice how the kid is often not much bigger than his balloon? Well, for us adults, 16" balloons are a little like that: they're an appreciable fraction of our own size.

    Most balloons larger than 12" are round and whilst that's great for balloon art, to most people that makes them a specialty item. The Unique 16" (and I know a few other people make them that shape, too) are merely the familiar 12" shape but larger. :-)

    I agree with you 100% on that, Seidenki.
    I think of it as "balloon scale "
    As a child I remember regular 12" party loons as being huge & punch balloons as being ENORMOUS
    I'm a small guy, my build is slender.....I'm only 5 feet 8 inches & I weigh about 130 lbs average..... so when i blow up a Tuff-Tex 24 I feel like that size balloon is the proper scale for me; equivalent to the size i perceived balloons as a child. & they can take the abuse despite the increase in scale!
