    Maybe? Idk about the effects of helium beyond trapping it in the vocal chords to make silly sounds. Unfortunately, helium is expensive AF and we're running out of it. Nitrogen on the other hand is the most abundant diatomic molecule in our atmosphere.

        Interesting. Any idea why? My guess would be that maybe you need less for it to work or it's more pleasant than nitrogen?

          Maybe it’s more about accessibility - helium can be purchased at party shops in US
