Hi there,
I find it great fun to pop balloons no matter what method I use, and especially if it can be done in a teasing way.
However my absolutely favorite way is to blow them up bigger and bigger, until ....

This way is btw the only way that really ‘does the trick’ for me.
I often feel it being kind of a waste to burst a balloon, when it could as well have been blown up even bigger. Of course others can do exactly what they like the most. I am only speaking for myself.
Thank you for reading my posting.
Sincerely
Susie
