Buckle up, friends, because I'm going to tell you how to send birthday balloons in iMessage and seriously change your birthday text game for good.

A horrifying moment caught on camera shows a birthday balloon blowing up in Giang Pham's face after it flew over her cake's candles - leaving the young Vietnamese woman with serious burns.

When Lawrence tied Herbert's paw to the birthday bouquet, there were 17 total balloons – 15 black and red ones and two depicting the "Cars" animated feature film.

If it is your birthday, Twitter will not only make sure that you get happy birthday messages but also animated balloons in your Twitter handle.

A five-year-old who launched his birthday balloon into the air was ecstatic to find it had been discovered more than 200 miles away in the Netherlands.

Twitter now lets users input their birthday info into their profiles, and will fill the page with balloons when the special day arrives. However, it could also be a data grab to help its advertisers.
