Not only was it hard to inflate it, but it was also hard to pop it! I sat on the balloon and did lots of flips, but there was no way to pop it. It was so hot and fun getting it to explode that I ended up lying on the floor wrapped in foil.
It's so bit you could have been stuck inside... but that gives me an idea. Couldn't you tape/seal the tear while you are encased inside the balloon? You could add a straw/tube/snorkel while releasing the balloon so breathing air does not hold you back from being inside the balloon till you tease, hump and grind the viewer as a naughty hidden treat till they pop instead of your balloon.
