Earth's helium supply may run out by 2030, and party balloons could cost about $90.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that Earth's helium supply will run out by 2030 is not supported by evidence. Multiple sources indicate that while helium is a non-renewable resource, current reserves are expected to last much longer, with production issues being the main concern. The claim about party balloons costing $90 is also not fully supported. Current prices are significantly lower, though specific custom bundles may reach that price due to additional services.
