How to deflate a foil balloon (if regular straw method doesn't work!)

I have seen many videos about how to deflate foil balloons but not all the foil balloons are made the same. Some foil balloons like the one I had could not be deflated by inserting the straw included in the package. I hope this video helps if you are having difficulties deflating a balloon like mine!

Thank you so much!! I made a thin straw using two ink tubes. It finally worked!!

Thank you for showing us there is already a straw inside of the balloon. All I had to do is push the straw deeper into the balloon. 🙏🏻

Thank you! It worked! I just cut a plastic straw to make it narrow :)

I just used the straw that was given. Inserted it and tried to locate and hold the tube with my hands from the outside .Then with both hands tried to pull the tube up the straw until the end was reached. Kind of like how you would pull a sock up you feet with both hands. I dont know if i explained it well.

Well I tried it but didn’t have two long straws. I thought I could poke through with a long skewer and once I tore the inner tube the air would come out but it didn’t work. The tear sealed back up; the straws are definitely needed to keep the tube open the whole time. Wonder why they add these tubes it seems like it just makes it harder to fill up and let air out.

Can the deflated ballon be re-inflated? You mentioned that we should hear a “pop” after inserting the longer, narrower straw. Does the “pop” prevent it from being inflated again? Thanks.

I took a long and thin piece of paper, curled it up and pushed it in. It was enough to deflate the balloon.
