The helium used for balloons is a byproduct of the helium refined for medical and scientific uses. It's not the same stuff.

It's literally of a quality that cannot be used for scientific or medical uses, nor can be refined further. You do realize that gases come in different qualities defined by standards, right?

You know......they had clowns to clean up all the animal poo at the end of the parade but the clown union got into an uproar because one of their members slipped and fell into a giant pile of elephant dung where he suffocated and died. When he fell he was kicking and thrashing about and everybody was laughing because the thought he was......clowning around.
So then they said, "so, you don't like dung? Well then, what do you think about BALLOONS?" So of course, the clown union was enthused.

I wonder if TV had anything to do with shortening the parade route?

I guess the animals didn’t like being filled with helium.
