June 15 - Elitex Sweet Corn

It's corn
A big lump with knobs
It has the juice
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing

~ Tariq - It's Corn (link)

After the Great Shattering, many different balloon companies have embraced twister balloons to try and fill the gap.  Unfortunately it's a little restrictive as many of these brands are only available at one distributor in country - I honestly can't imagine that lasting long.

But Marigold is a color that I need a replacement for, and EliteX is a brand carried by my local distributers. Sounds like a match made in negotiated retail inventory overstock protection and management to me! 💛

The color "Sweet Corn" is on the end of the yellow spectrum and compares very closely to Honey Yellow (image comparison on blog).  The texture of the balloons is good twisting sponginess, though I feel in some ways like I'm trying to describe the notes of a wine bouquet.  I really do need some some comparatives better than "a good medium squish with a slight dry back end".

For the sake of future comparisons.  I do think of "wet" or "dry" not as the feel, but more like a tree branch.  A dry balloon snaps cleanly, a wet balloon is potential chaos exploding.  

Overall assessment, looked and worked great -- I admit I intentionally beat the balloons up a bit while making the giant letters, but these performed well without complained.  A couple of these designs are becoming somewhat standard to use as a sort of test as to the abuse they might be able to withstand.
