The 'popping' sound of a balloon disintegrating is made by the sudden expansion of air when the skin is damaged. The compressed air within is then able to escape.

One interesting variant of your 'water' experiment, is to stick a bit of cellulose tape to the balloon, and then you'll find that you may puncture the balloon; through the tape; without it popping! It will eventually deflate however.

How do you get a water balloon out of a bottle without popping it?

If you filled the bottle with water and then poked the balloon with a pin, I believe it would pierce but not pop it. With the balloon pierced, all you would then have to do is drain the water from the bottle, maneuver the balloon toward its mouth and drain it, and then finish removing the balloon either by fishing or dropping it out of the bottle's mouth.

How to avoid a popping sound from a filled balloon?

There are two ways to avoid a popping sound from a filled balloon: 1. closing your ears tightly 2. putting earplugs on your ears. I usually do #1 to avoid a popping sound from those freakin' balloons. The President should ban the balloon popping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, when a balloon's circumference is about 10 inches and the length is 31 centimeters, I would run 10 kilometers away. When I put earplugs, they always come off. So, go get yourself a balloon and stab it with a knife! Just kidding.


How do you make a dog stop being scared by a balloon?

It really depends if it is the popping of the balloon or sight of the balloon. If it is the popping, then you can train the dog to tolerate that sound (i.e, build up with louder and louder noises and then introduce the popping and everyday pop a balloon near the dog and it should start tolerating it.) If it is the sight then the same rule applies. Keep showing the balloon to the dog and it should begin to tolerate it. If that doesn't work, show it things that look like a balloon, leading to the balloon itself. Hope this helps!


How do you fill water balloons with water?

Stretch the mouth of the deflated water balloon over a tap or other pressurized water source. Turn on the tap so that water rushes into the balloon. Once filled, twist the balloon at the neck a few times. This way water does not escape when you remove the mouth of the balloon from the tap. Once removed, tie the twisted neck of the balloon in a knot to prevent water from escaping.
