Wish anyone, in general, Happy 25th Birthday with an adorable raccoon, Rocky sitting next to a kisses and hugs tapestry surrounded by colorful balloons of blue, green, red on a light magenta background with white text. FYI: The rubber balloon that we know today was first discovered by a scientist Michael Faraday. Faraday made rubber bags during one of his experiments and filled it with gas in order to study it. The rubber bags were made out of two round rubber sheets laid together. The edges of the sheets were pressed which caused them to stick to each other. He then lined the rubber bag with flour to prevent them for sticking together. When he filled the bag with gas he noticed that the bag became elastic and started to expand. With expansion, it became transparent and started to ascend in the air. After a year, toy balloons were manufactured just like we know them today!
