It's late at night and I'm ready for bed but I want to have a little more fun with my helium balloons. I grabbed the first thing I saw in the kitchen which was a fork. I smacked the balloons around and teased them with the fork. I sat on a few while teasing them and a few I poke a hole in and let some of the helium escape before popping them. All the balloons get popped....eventually. :-)
