This was one of those things my kids had been begging for for a while but I was sure would turn out to be junk so said no. Decided to take the plunge and get some for a summer birthday and I couldn't have been more wrong in my assumption (you know what they say when one assumes...) First off, it seems that the majority of the product - balloons & rubber band-like ties - are made from bio-degradable materials! Super surprised about that. So as I picked up hundreds of ballon fragments from the lawn I was less concerned with getting every little bit (and there were lots of bits)! They recommend that before filling them up you place the balloons in a tub of water large enough for them when they expand, which I did and makes sense so they have something to cushion and protect them. It really took all of 5 minutes for me to set everything up, figure it out and GO! I had 33 water balloons! There were only a couple per 100 that were duds, having sprung holes in them off the bat. I continued to be the ammunition supplier and could produce 33 balloons every minute if we had an endless supply. So, so easy and a blast for everyone!

My only complaint is that they went so fast. If you wanted the war to go on for a decent amount of time it would become very costly, as war always is I suppose.

Such a great product that I wish was around when I was a child! We used to waste so much time and energy preparing water balloons, only for them to be thrown and gone in a matter of minutes. These balloons, on the other hand, are quick and easy to fill up -- and already tied! You simply screw the hose on to one of the three bunches at a time and then let the magic happen. We usually fill it over a kiddie pool, so they don't pop when they fall (they drop after being filled to the max). We bought one pack and had no duds. Very pleased and definitely purchasing more.

I guess these would be fun if you wanted to fill them and throw them right away, but almost every single balloon had a slow leak and we had to tie every balloon (our fingers were killing us!) to last overnight for a school event the next day. When we delivered them, the other parents wanted to know what kind of balloons we had bought because theirs were almost all completely empty - instead of a bucket of water balloons they had buckets of water with deflated balloons in them! They definitely filled fast, but you have to use them fast too.

Worked great! I got them for a water balloon fight for cub scouts. Only a few didn't work and they include extras to make up for one's that didn't work. I would recommend filling them up right before you use them however. I did one bunch a few hours before and a lot less from that bunch made it to the fight. It beats filling them 1 by 1 for sure!

WHY WEREN'T THESE A THING WHEN I WAS A CHILD?!?!

I am obsessed with these balloons! We love them! I have had 2 separate occasions when using them and each time it makes filling water balloons so simple! I had a huge water balloon fight at my house for a barbecue and these definitely came in handy when one of the teams ran out of ammo! Fast and incredibly easy to use. These will be a staple in our home come every summer. I first saw them on Philip Defranco's wife's YouTube channel and she made it look so simple I couldn't believe it. I immediately placed an order and I am so happy that I did!
