Plastic is more durable stretchable and lighter than some other alternatives. It can also be more cheaply made into balloons.
the abnormal size of the balloon scared the children as they ran by.
Plastic is pretty cool. You use it to make stuff, and print 3D printer stuff. Neat, huh? But also, plastic can get stuck on turtle's necks - that could kill them; which is bad, huh?

It isn't so much the bacteria as the gases they pouts out. Here is something you can do to test it out.Find an empty 2 liter bottle, no lid is needed.Stuff some old food or meat in the bottom with a little bit of liquid.Stretch a balloon over the opening. Tape it on pretty good to make sure it is sealed and secure.Place it somewhere out of the way.After the food starts to spoil, you should be able to see the balloon has expanded.Don't expect it to blow up all the way or anything, but it will definitely be enough to get the gist of it. Make sure you are standing somewhere outside when you take the balloon off to throw it out. The smell probably isn't going to be so great.
there is no way to make a balloon from scratch, but you could use a subsitute for a balloon insted. maybe a plastic bag?
You can make a balloon boy costume several ways. One way is to use plastic wrap and another is to use trash bags to form a huge plastic ball around yourself. You can also use pipe cleaners to make a sturdy bubble.
When a balloon is rubbed with plastic, electrons transfer from the balloon to the plastic, leaving the balloon with a net positive charge and the plastic with a net negative charge. This is known as triboelectric charging or static electricity.
use a bigger balloon
No a balloon carry lighter weight then a plastic bag.
When a balloon is rubbed with plastic wrap, the balloon becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the plastic wrap to the balloon. This results in the balloon being attracted to positively charged objects or surfaces, due to the attraction between opposite charges.

Hi there a balloon whisk is a basic whisk which you probabley us .If you stand it upside down on its handle it looks like a balloon . They are sometime use on electric whisks too and mainy built from plastic or metal.
Rubbing plastic wrap on a balloon creates static electricity. The friction between the materials transfers electrons, causing the balloon to become negatively charged. This can cause the balloon to stick to surfaces or be attracted to other objects.
Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.
when blowing a balloon, the balloon will pop after the maximum pressure allowed by the composition of the balloon e.g. (rubber, plastic and alluminum) is exceeded.
The heat from the lighter, when placed on the surface of the stretched surface of the balloon,would melt the plastic of the balloon and allow the air inside the balloon to escape, so deflating the balloon.
