Why Khloé Kardashian's Birthday Party For True Has The Internet Seeing Red

Khloé Kardashian's pictures included several shots of a bedroom literally packed with balloons in various shades of pink, white, and gray, including a large outline of the number "3" filled with small balloons. True's adorable grin revealed her joy at the magical atmosphere, but not everyone found the sight so thrilling.

"Those balloons probably cost more than I make in a paycheck," said one follower. "Kinda makes me sick to my stomach." In response, another user commented, "Imagine if they instead showed their kids how much good they could do for others with that amount of money." Another follower, meanwhile, noted the effect the balloons would have after the party is long forgotten. "The amount of waste generated from these balloons hurts my soul," she said. And another commenter agreed: "By the time she's 30, there won't be a planet left for her to live on." Even though the balloons were reportedly biodegradable, some pointed out that even "earth-friendly" balloons can still take years to decompose. Deflated balloons of all types can be ingested by animals, with disastrous results (via Balloons Blow).

This balloon-overload debate is a familiar one for the Kardashian sisters. Khloé spent an estimated $8,500 for the lavish balloon display at True's first birthday party (via People), and Kylie Jenner caught similar flak for using tons of balloons at daughter Stormi's second birthday bash (via Showbiz Cheat Sheet). Knowing their love for extravagance, though, it's not likely they'll cut back for future events.
