Happy Halloween!

We are officially in the party season! In addition to the usual events and special occasions, we have back to back holidays to look forward to. Since everyone is gearing up for Halloween by looking for the perfect costume, buying candy and Halloween decorations, we thought to join in and help out. Over the past few weeks, we've come across a lot of great decorating ideas around the web, many of which we've shared on our various social media sites. If you're looking for food and drink ideas though, then keep reading. We've scoured the web and now we're sharing some of our findings with you.

Scary Good Food.

Halloween is known for being a "sweet" holiday (mostly because of the candy routine), but you can have savory foods at a Halloween gathering. Instead of giving everyone a sugar rush, add some twists to your favorite foods.

Still want a pizza night? Go for it! Pizza may not look spooky or seem very original, but pair it with some of these Breadstick Broomsticks for a twist on an old favorite!


Who doesn't love taco salads? And who knew Tarantula Tostadas could be dressed up so easily?! Create an explosion of colorful foods in a tortilla bowl, add all your favorite toppings, and then carefully craft a spider web and its inhabitants with olives and ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Let's Talk Beverages.

Since we avoided the sugar rush in the food department, let's make up for it with drinks that may as well be dessert.

How can you say no to a drink that includes orange soda, Hawaiian punch and orange sherbet vanilla ice cream? It's super easy to make and is sure to please kids and adults alike. Check it out here!

This drink is awesome for several reasons. It tastes great, looks amazing and is named after a character from Star Wars. That last reason also adds to the versatility of this drink, making it possible to serve at many events - birthday parties, Star Wars movie release parties and Halloween! Yoda Soda all around! Love it you will.

If you try of these ideas (or if you have any other to share), please let us know in the comments or reach out to us on Facebook. We'd love to see what you all do and come up with!

Cylinder Sizes

We often get asked for height and weight measurements of helium cylinders. Whether you're renting or purchasing, it's good to know exactly what you're getting. It needs to meet your needs with regards to output, but in many cases, it also needs to be easily transported. If you plan to be mobile while using your cylinder, make sure it's something you're comfortable transporting. Will you be able load it into a vehicle unassisted? If not, will someone be available to help you? Do you plan on transporting it a lot or just occasionally? These are just a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on a cylinder size. Consider the following information to assist in your decision-making. Small Cylinder 55 cu. ft. Inflates approximately 65 12" latex balloons Stands 27" tall and is approximately 8.5" in diameter Weighs in at 26 lbs.* (aluminum cylinder) Medium Cylinder 125 cu. ft. Inflates approximately 200 12" latex balloons Stands ...

HX Loyalty Program for Large Cylinders

Chances are you've heard about or read up on our loyalty program. We've had such a great response to this program that now we're taking it one step further. Many of you asked if the program extended to large cylinders and we're happy to announce that now it does! Here's the breakdown... A large cylinder alone costs $300.00. You still need to fill it with helium and purchase a valve. We recommend purchasing a valve with a gauge so that you can monitor the amount of helium you have in your cylinder. This would cost $524.95. As you know, we granted massive discounts for small and medium-sized cylinders. And our newest program for large cylinders is no different. Now, you can purchase a large cylinder (full of helium) and a valve with a gauge for just $420! When you need it refilled, just pay $145*! Compare it to our other size options and see which one works for you . Written by: Miriam E. Medellin *Edited on July 24, 2019 to reflect price increase

A Sleeping Giant by Marshall Peterson

We share a great amount of information with employees and customers alike to ensure safe interaction with the gases and cylinders we sell. The following poem creatively illustrates the potential danger of pressurized gas. Some of you may recognize this as we have it posted in our store, as well as on our website . Though we do not intend to scare anyone away from using helium or the like, it's important to recognize the risks associated with gas under pressure. It commands great care and respect, as you'll see. A Sleeping Giant I am a compressed gas cylinder. I weigh in at 175 pounds with or without gas. I am pressurized at 2,200 pounds per square inch (psi). I have a wall thickness of about ¼ inch. I stand 57 inches tall. I am 9 inches in diameter. I wear a cap when not in use. I wear valves, gauges, and hoses when at work. I wear many colors and bands to tell what tasks I perform. I transform miscellaneous stacks of material into glistening ships and many ot...
