ELI5: Why does WD40 pop balloons! Ive seen in a few videos when sprayed onto a balloon it will pop almost immediately

Second attempt at having this question posted, it was auto-removed for something not even similar.

WD40 is an oil-based product and many balloons are made out of latex. Oil will dissolve through natural latex products, and a balloon which is already under pressure doesn't need much damage to the latex to create a weak spot where the air will push through. It's the same reason why you never want to use oil-based lubes with latex condoms.
