Candid Photographs Taken During a Christmas Balloon Party Game, ca. 1950s

This game is really funny to play and watch. The balloon is inexplicably hard to pop this way. And as you watch, you think the players must be doing something wrong. Then it is your turn and you STILL can’t understand why it is so hard. It gets pretty comical. Why did this game fall out of favor? Anybody have some balloons?
