Did you have a good time as a kid dropping water-filled balloons of balconies, rooftops, bridges, etc?

Question

I did...off my friend's balcony until my mother caught me one time and demanded to know why I was doing it. Apparently "Uhhhhhh," is not an answer. But it sure was fun at the time! How about you?

I meant OFF balconies...not "of"!

Answer 1

We used to launch them at cars from the roof of the Jack in the Box I worked at. We were doing it one night, we ran out of balloons, and had to go downstairs to reload. When we got back to the roof, we heard Jack in the box on my police radio that I had just bought earlier that day. Needless to say, we flew out of there. Just as we were leaving one driveway, the cops were pulling into the other. They checked us out real close at the traffic signal, then went their own way. Thank God, because I forgot that my pockets were bulging from all the balloons I had stuffed in them.

Answer 2

I come from a small town way up in Northern CA, population 4,200. By the 10th of October you could not buy a balloon anywhere within 30 miles of town. They were sold out because on Halloween night the whole main street of town became one huge water balloon fight.

Answer 3

Yes, Very much, thank you. We,in India, have annual festival in the month of March which is called Holi, when we throw balloons filled with coloured water on each other and we all loved it as kids and now in adulthood too we become kids for that day......

Answer 4

I found my father's condoms, filled them with water and had my little brother throw them out the window (the little dummy really thought they were white balloons)

Answer 5

of course. I soon discovered, however, that adding a little sulfuric acid to the water produced even more interesting results; especially when I was at my grandparent's place.

Answer 6

Indeed. Those little paper filled "bombs". They used to make a loud "snap" noise. They were great! (1976)

Answer 7

Oh. You used water?

Answer 8

yes i did
