I was reading they thread labeled, "Popping" and Black_Bear had a great reply to someone's question about balloon preference for B2P's and it got me thinking this would be a really handy resource for poppers (and even non-poppers) for the community to describe their experience with popping a certain brand, size, or type of balloon. I've attached his quote below. Personally, my favorite balloons to pop are U16's and TT17's and I was gonna provide a profile for them shortly.
The factors that he used to describe the popping characteristics were: loudness, size, reliability, and violence of the pop. I think by violence he meant how much the balloon shreds or breaks into pieces when it pops, personally I call that "shred factor". Other things I can think of when describing a balloon pop is its hardness/softness, strength/resistance to pop, fragility or proneness to defect.
