This is a neat pinata alternative

[speckledfrog]

Everyone gets to choose a balloon to pop and out comes some confetti, candy, and small toy.

Looks fun! I'm filing that away for future birthday parties.

Oh come on! It's not a fun piñata if someone doesn't get hit on the eye with the stick!

[hisno1girl]

BOORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A party isn't a party until some kid gets whacked on the head by an over zealous pinata breaker!

Rite of passage for my people.

[shananagins]

That's fun! Are you looking for 1st birthday ideas? I can't believe it's time to think about it already!

[speckledfrog]

Oh,it's totally pussification. I don't want to deal with any stupid cry babies at my party!

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Today's pinatas are pussified anyway because they all come with that stupid string to just pull it open, no beating it with a bat required. Lame.

I'm dying that there could be any situation that would require an alternative to a pinata.

weird

I did a balloon bouquet like this for a bachelorette party. They were all stuffed with sketchy items, and the guest of honor had to pop them all.

It's amazing what you can fit in a balloon.

SQUIGGLE FACE! :y:

i think it's neat if, for example, you had to have an indoor party due to weather or whatever and it wasn't really feasible to have kids swing a bat around.

[mrsjuleshs]

All the parties I have been to in the past few years seem to have super strength pinatas that have required parents or teenagers to finally beat open. I think the balloons could be fun for the little ones but NO confetti! That stuff is a pain to clean up.

[fuckyourcouch]

i can remember maybe my 4th or 5th birthday, my mom put prizes in balloons like this, but we all had to sit on them to get them to pop and it was hilarious.

There was another one like this. You punch it:

Too violent.  And what if someone gets confetti or a small toy in their eye!!

[Deleted]

Ack! You are right!!

Though I'm w PP that all confetti should be banned.

If your pinata is particularly difficult to bludgeon open, then you take a big chef's knife and make repeated stabbing motions all over the surface of the pinata and that sucker will split open like a rotten tomato.






Preferably out of the view of the children, lest they want to join in or are traumatized at the sight of you eviscerating Hello Kitty's face.
