''If you don't have pre-cut squares, you can make them out of rectangular sheets.''

This is sounding off my Hoax alarm.

This may be to mess up workplaces all over the world.

Nope, no hoax, I remember making these as a kid. Of course that was pre-internet, tv and all sorts of other modern technology, when we were forced to find our own amusements (also known as tormenting our elders).

Of course, we called them "bombs", not balloons.

Was just making fun of making square sheets out of rectangular sheets....

People are filling them using lighters and making paper rockets too.

Evidently this trick has been published by the papermakers, who wish to sell more products, while to achieve that, virgin forests are cut down to make more garbage.

Kind Regards....

A conspiracy theory, not a hoax.

I like that!

Your wisdom prevails again.
