Why Our Bottles Have Tiger Stripes – The Legend of Tiger Gas
A long time ago—before Tiger Gas was even born—there was a mischievous tiger who absolutely loved balloons. Every morning, he’d sneak into town, grab a balloon from the florists, and race back into the trees with it floating behind him like a trophy.
One day, he found a helium cylinder sitting outside a shop. Curious, he nudged it, sniffed it, and finally rubbed against it the same way cats do… except he left bright orange and black stripes all over it.
The shop owner came out, saw the striped tank, and loved it so much he asked the tiger to “decorate” all his helium bottles. The tiger proudly accepted the job (mostly because he got unlimited balloons in return).
Word spread fast. Soon everyone in Houston was looking for helium tank rental in Houston, Texas, and they all wanted those bold, playful tiger-striped helium tanks. This demand helped establish Tiger Gas in the realm of helium tank rental in Houston, TX. And that’s how Tiger Gas was born — out of a partnership between a balloon-loving tiger and a community that loved a little fun with their helium.
To this day, every cylinder we deliver still carries those iconic stripes, reminding us of the tiger who started it all.
