A quick Google search also reveals benzene from the balloon kits ranging from 26 to 44 ppm. Not great.

When listing symptoms, don't lead with euphoria.

Where can I buy these? I mean it to ensure I don't buy them.

I'm assuming it's the same as these? Been around forever here in the states.

lol these have been around forever. It's essentially some rubbery glue and a little straw. Very common in SEA. My mom used to blow them up for us because I could never do it right.

what is this? im confused.

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

It's a weird petrochemical fluid and some straws. You dip the straw and can blow a bubble that hardens on contact with the air. They come in colors.

They're not much fun, and have been disappointing children for decades.

Smells like model airplane glue. So you know it's good.
