I love seeing a balloon shred when I b2p them. But I only have experience with balloons between 11"-18". But everyone seems to tell me that Q24's shred really well.
My experience with this, has a lot to do with color as well.
Qualatex 16" shred pretty well, with pale blue, baby pink, black, jewel yellow, white, jewel green, orange, and jewel red, seem to shred the best. No defects anywhere and I usually get between 75-500 shreds per balloon.
Tuftex 17" don't do as well though. All their colors besides gold/silver don't shred all that well. It always seems to leave a giant piece of over half the balloon intact, with a few small shreds. Maybe 10-50 each time. The gold and silver on the other hand are so much fun to b2p. There is nothing but scraps left. Due to them being metallic these shred well. 150-500+ pieces per balloon.
Qualatex 11" work just as well as their 16" brother, but they are a lot harder to b2p. But black 11" shred into tiny bits. Last one I had was way over 100 shreds.
I hope this isn't confusing to anyone, but I love seeing a balloon be destroyed like that. I don't even know why, because not much else with balloons excites me the way this does. But I really want to know the following:
Best way to get a balloon to shred fully?
Best balloon to use?
Best color to use?
Outdoors vs. Indoor?
And no, I don't actually hand count a balloon that has shred into 400 pieces, just rough guesses, but go with a number that seems closest.
