Essay on Balloons

At first it may look like magic, but there is, of course, scientific reasoning as to why a skewer can so easily be poked and pushed through a balloon without it popping! Balloons are made out of a rubberized material called polymer. When a skewer is push though the balloon, the internal chains of polymer are push aside, yet remained bonded together, making it so that the balloon does not pop. The oil (or sometimes petroleum jelly) completes this process by sealing the hole that the skewer creates as it is pushed through the balloon. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen; reasoning behind the magic. Warning: do not try this on balloons filled with antacid tablets and water. They might explode!
