They let the gas out so it doesn’t explode from the depressed pressure. Plus they burn it to control the gas from spreading (can be toxic).

If poke it with a big straw the balloon goes boom!! lets make two holes with small straws and make bad air go bye bye with fire so we have awsome air and sipp our juice all day long yay!!
