July 6 - Tuftex Pink

You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo

~ Aerosmith - Pink

It's important to remember that every color is a chemical formula - something + latex.  Ideally that something only changes the color and nothing else.  Sometimes the formula might need to vary depending on the different size and thicknesses of balloons.

Whatever formula the used with Tuftex Pink is not good.  These were two new bags, pink and baby pink, purchased like a month ago - and were both so maddeningly fragile.   You could feel the thinness when inflating, things would pop with just the barest friction.  Even as careful as you can be, you still need to twist something into a pinch twist at times and this was a crap shoot.   

I'm including a color comparison of the various pinks - overall pinks seem to be highly varied between the companies and span a wide range of "something between white and red".

Overall assessment of Tuftex Pink ... I do not like them.   Way too fragile, even new/fresh.  I won't be using them again.
