  Good quality balloons will last approximately 12 hours and six hours on a hot day over 25˚C.
  
• Is the party trick of inhaling Helium (Donald Duck effect) safe?
  No. It is dangerous and must be discouraged at all times.
  
• Will foil balloons stay in the air longer?
  Yes, a standard 45cm foil balloon will inflate for about a week.
