Helium Shortage Has Balloon Sales Dropping - Brianna McClane - NationalJournal.com
As I was helping a client bring in stuff for her party from her car she mentioned how she was unable to get any balloons for her daughters birthday party. She had called about 5 different Jewels and party city, all of which said they wouldn't be able to provide her with any balloons due to the helium shortage. Helium shortage? I looked at her with a puzzled look on my face to which she replied, "I know, I was confused too." Neither of us could come up with any kind of reason or possible cause that could have contributed to there being a shortage. We're both aware that helium is an element on the periodic table but that was as far as our knowledge of Chemistry was able to take us. Our curiosity turned us to Google. Apparently there has been a shortage of helium for a couple months now and there seems to be more than one reason why. Read the article above to learn more about why the shortage has become a somewhat lingering problem.
