I saw a notice from a store called "Balloon4Fun" on Facebook yesterday that said Belbal would be discontinuing the "soap" line of balloons. Sizes affected are B120 (14"), B250 (24"), and B350 (36"). Other colors such as standard and crystal will continue to be made.
My only experience with Belbal balloons is with a crystal green B250 from Balloons United (back when the company was good) and it had the print with all the phrases (blow me, pop me, ride me, enjoy me, etc). Never tried their 14" line but the soap colors were always enticing. 14" is low cost so I was able to get 200 from Balloon Ace (and another 30 or so normal 14" colors).
I'm not a hoarder but I missed out on the Q24 era so I don't take chances. I did the same thing when the Geo Donut was discontinued; for a little bit of money, I have enough to last a long time with proper storage.
I recommend that anyone interested buy some now. It seems most stores have hundreds of each color available at good prices.
