You need SPECIAL ones????

I would have thought that ordinary balloons that blow up into a sort of pear-shape would do just fine.

Yeah I know. Our Chemistry teacher was saying he got special ones abroad but they all burst and was looking for a place to get new ones. I'm sure the normal ones will do him though.
