    Competition Time #2 - Size matters!

    I just found this wonderful thread from Katielynn:

    If I find a 12" balloon, I will definitely participate

    But let me also start another competition jus for fun. I would be happy if someone would like to participate

    The rules are simple:

    Blow up a Unique16" balloon to its maximum size (it can also be inflated multiple times in a row). Whoever reaches the largest diameter (please measure it ) wins the game. Of course we want to see a photo of it too

    I'll try my best tomorrow and then upload a photo. Good luck to anyone who wants to try it

    Warm greetings

        Just remove the portion of the link before the https part. They accidentally have both http and https, and you just need the latter.

        Unfortunately I won't be able to participate in this due to not actually having any Unique 16s at the moment, but I doubt I'd win anyway. More than content just seeing the submissions.

          Thank you I should have seen that http + https problem myself

          Well if you want to you can also participate with any other 16“ balloon. Just have fun and enjoy this challenge

            I try to attach a picture this time. I hope it works (it´s my first attempt here )

            My Unique16" balloon had a diameter of 53cm. Unfortunately I was too chicken to blow it bigger... Some of you might do that better

            Have fun

              Now that's a good sized 16" Unique!! I have a few plain U16's and a lot of Balloon Buddies-print U16's. Have fun!

                  Oh thanks a lot!!! The U16 changed a few years ago and have not been quite as soft and stretchy since then. This might still be from the old batch. I'm sure it would have been even bigger if I had been a little braver

                  Thank you, I also liked it No it didn´t pop. I think there was still some room left for more air. Maybe next time


                  @Semipopp, @BalloonFun, would you also like to participate?

                    Hello my friends,

                    maybe this is not the best time for such competitions... At the moment I see "FunLooner" as the winner - his U16 looks tighter and bigger than mine

                    But to make it a little more fun, I'll let the competition run a little longer. Feel invited to participate

                      Not the sort of competition that Non-poppers and phobics want to take part in. We would never win! Good to see the results of the brave though.

                        So my best U16 overinflation yet is this one, really a not very common color by today U16´s and really old balloon (must be between 2008-2009 inflated in 2018) that's why it is so big and even in that size it felt super soft, must be between 20" size. The blue is another 16" to compared it.

                        A looner looking for fun, against violence or people with hightened moral idealism…. I just care about loons, so don’t ruin the fun.
