I do, except when they pop. That popping is loud.

I'm indifferent except I don't like the popping either.

I like cute ballons but when they pop I become a scaredy rabbit and I fear my heart will stop.

I love balloons, especially the green ones that look like peas from above.

Yes I do, I like how round and brightly colored they are, and I like tossing them up in the air and because they float down gently they're easy to catch.

When I was a kid I played with balloons a lot. Even when they popped it didn't discourage me. I'd just get and blow up some more.

Oh I love balloons!! But only when they float!

For my graduation I asked my mom to buy me the biggest balloon in the store. It said "Happy First Birthday!" on it ㅋㅋㅋ

Ooo and the long ones that you let go to fly around were fun as a kid. And ballon animals OF COURSE!

I don't mind balloons. They are good at birthday parties and at the circus. But they may become an endangered species.

There is a move afoot to ban balloons. First they attacked plastic bags used in grocery stores and had them banned. Then they attacked plastic straws and replaced them with paper straws. Now they have set their sights on balloons.

Balloons are OK as long as they are disposed of properly and don't escape into the wider environment. Mass balloon releases should be banned and already have been by many local authorities in the UK and elsewhere. At best the balloons released are just litter; at worst they are fatal to some of the animals that ingest them.

Balloons were one of the most important reason I was scared and anxious at birthday parties when I was a child. Yes because of the popping. I couldn`t stop thinking of it if there was a balloon in the room.

I must say I agree that we should be aware of where the products we use end up so that we don`t cause harm. I have also heard about helium shortage and that scientists wish to stop unnecessary use of helium. These are reasons why helium balloons were forbidden to be sold on public ground many places in my country at the national day this year.

I don't. I hate the squeaky sound they make when they rub against things, and am always startled half to death when they pop, and when they pop outside, all I can think of is that animals might eat the pieces and die.

I was pretty traumatized when I let a bunch of helium balloons go way up into the sky when I was 5. My grandmother got really mad at me.

To this day, I don't want to handle helium balloons. I fear I might lose them to the sky.

I hate that sound, also! Those damn clowns who make animals out of thin balloons used to drive me crazy when I was a kid! I felt like stabbing them in the eye with a pencil!

I remember being at a circus one time and I sucked on a hose so I could breath in helium. That was interesting. My voice all of a sudden changed to a high squealing pitch. It was hilarious. We were all rolling on the ground in laughter.

I like balloons just fine, they're fun. I don't mind when they pop.

A clown taught me how to make balloon animals when I was younger.
