To the unknown eye, this looks like a regular orange coloured balloon...






For those who know the size of my statue dog, this is how big that balloon really is! and it's not even at its fullest.












The package said that it'll "INFLATE UP TO 4 FT!" (the '!' was in the print too). Of course they put a '!', that's insane! The smart person that I am started blowing the balloon up with my mouth....that method faded fast so I recruited my dad to help hold the balloon around the bicycle pump nozzle so I could pump it up. 20 min later...and still not at full capacity. BOO. But I could pump no more, my arms were exhausted. But it's so great! it bounces nicely... and floats! and all for ONE dolla.
Now, if only I had access to pump it up in a less tiring way.
