Has anyone bought a Baby tRump balloon yet?

I saw one at the Stop Kavanaugh protest today and the owner said it wouldn't go up even though it was filled with helium. It went up 12' and sort of stopped. I wanted to buy one since I have seen them advertised here on DU and it was really cool looking in person but I don't know if I should now.

1. I received mine in the mail this week. Haven't tried it out as I'm

saving it for next big impeachment protest.

2. The next BIG PROTESTS are the ones planned for Sept 8th.

Hundreds in the US and thousands around the world for the Climate Rally.

On Sept 8 we’re planning thousands of actions and events in cities and towns around the world to demand our local leaders commit to building a fossil free world that works for all of us. No more stalling, no more delays: it's time for 100% renewable energy for all.

This September, cities, states, businesses and civil society from around the world are gathering in California for the Global Climate Action Summit.

The Summit has invited every mayor, governor, and business leader in the world to make a bold climate commitment to help the world reach the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Plan or join an event on September 8. If your elected officials commit, your rally can be a celebration. If they fail to act, it's a chance to hold them accountable.

3. fleur-de-lisa was saying that she

bought one online and planned to fill it with helium. I’ve been watching for posts from her to see how it went.

4. Someone let us know again where we can get them and I will buy many for myself, friends and family..

5. I don't know how you get it to go up high, like a real balloon.

If helium doesn't give it enough of a lift I don't know what else you could inflate it with to get it to go UP and UP.

6. That's a feature, not a bug.

For even more realism, it self-pops after 2 years.

7. POP! SPLAT!

If the original fat, inflated baby did that..."dancin' in the streets" would ensue!

8. Oh, shit! It's Mr. Creosote!
