Almost everybody knows you can use helium to make your voice sound funny... But what many people don't know is... It's also good for making bubblegum balloons!... I really wish I was one of the people who didn't know that...
Time for a lobotomy Monty!
more of this drooling in monty please!
Then you pass out from lack of oxygen.
I agree with E.B. (though, incidentally, I’m not sure I’d call him “people”).Monty is just acting loco here….
See? There is still a use for cursive writing!
Seriously though, don’t inhale helium. If done by a professional it isn’t that dangerous, but it can lead to death and brain damage if done wrong.
Interestingly, once I saw a science teacher inhale a gas that was heavier than air to make him sound like Darth Vader.
Also, and much more important, we’re running out of helium, and once it’s gone, that’s it. It has a lot more important uses than balloons.
@BuckyKatt999, Sun’s got plenty. We should make people who waste it go there to get more.
I never thought of that! Does it actually work?
Based upon its color code, that tank should hold approximately 95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide. Helium tanks should be brown.
All helium bubble gum balloons end badly.
