Went right around with other colored ballons for fall theme bridal shower.It was true there is ten but it isn’t brown it is actually black but it’s ok with me because I like black too but it is not brownNice quality balloons but the picture is deceiving because the balloons are very dark, almost black. I thought they would be more of a milk chocolate shade like the picture illustrates.wasn’t able to use them they were way to dark I even tried double stuffing it with a white inside, still black looking not brownLOVE IT!The color brown is way dark !!The neighborhood yard sale was approaching, and our home is set back a bit further on the street than the houses on either side, so I was afraid passing cars would miss our sale. I broke my environmentally-conscious ban on balloons because I didn't want to go out and buy mylar balloons for a yard sale. I bought a package of these balloons in yellow, and a second package in twilight blue.Both packages of balloons inflated 100% to 12 inches. Packages used to have more balloons in them back in the day, but you also had to expect a few duds. No duds in this batch. We blew up all 20 balloons and tied them to strings in little bunches, then went to bed. The next morning at crazy-early o'clock, I got up to tie the balloons to various prominent surfaces out front before heading out there with our stuff. All 20 balloons are still fully inflated after sitting all night long. Not bad!By 9 AM, the sale has begun; people line the sidewalks, and the balloons have served their purpose. We no longer have to worry about being seen, because there are goods out front and people buying them. But at about 1 PM, a curious thing happened. The blue balloons began to pop! One, then a couple minutes later, two more, and by 3 PM only one blue balloon remained intact, whereas all of the yellow balloons were still inflated.The day was hot for Seattle--upper 80's--so maybe the darker colored balloons drew the heat and therefore popped sooner? Hey, who knows. I doubt any of you really need balloons that will last for more than 15 hours once inflated, which all of these did. But it was interesting anyway.If you have to have rubber balloons, buy these.After inflated, the balloons looked more black than brown, good quality but color is off.These balloons are amazing. We inflated some almost FOUR weeks ago now and they are still inflated and barely look like they've lost any air. We didn't use them for helium but I'm sure they'd be great for that too. The colour is vivid and wonderful and exactly what I expected. I should probably pop them soon, haha, but I kind of want to see how long they'll last... My young daughter has grabbed them too and poked at them with her sharp tiny nails (with an adult watching closely and then promptly removing them once she started pinching and poking them) and they haven't popped from any of that either.Okay I was dumb and ignored the bad reviews and bought them anyways but literally half have holes in them and then the other half are disgustingly dirty where you are supposed to blow them up .... and to top it off they are not light pink at allThese are the worest qualitie balloons I have ever seen, I ordered them for a birthday party and used them , within a half hour all 24 of them popped, for no reason. The white one's bought from dollar tree that were blown up at the same time and placed in exactly the same spots as the black lasted two day's. And they were 1/4 of the cost ! Do not waste your money !!Bought these for a birthday party. The green ones were fine but the Twilight Blue keep bursting. The latex on these is really flimsy and cheap. You can get better balloons at the dollar store.J'ai acheté les ballons de couleur seafoam pour la fete de ma fille. J'étais incapable de les gonfler. Les autres des autres couleurs étaient ok mais eux ne se gonflaient pas.... a eviter
