I sometimes wonder about the manufacturers of our wonderful fascinations. Just the economics of it. Do they know that, in essence they are making sex toys for us? Qualatex, Tufftex, I imagine, have no idea. They are too big and sell millions of balloons a day. I can't imagine that a change from 500 units to 3500 units in a year is a big difference.
But I wonder about Looner's balloons. Any of the GL series. I have shows pics of GL's to over a hundred people and none of them even imagined a balloon like that. So I know they aren't selling at Walmart. But I know I've bought a few in the last year or two. And I imagine a lot of us have, having seen videos with them.
And we all know balloons have a shelf life. So they can't store them for years. So the manufacturers have to retool the factory to make enough that will sell in the next year or so.
And I imagine that demand for any of the GLS has grown more than tenfold as the looner fetish grows in awareness.
So I figure they have to know who's buying these wonderful toys.
QUESTION TO OUR WONDERFUL SUPPLIERS? Do they know?
I'm just thinking that a forum like this is possibly an actual economic power. What if we had a place where we could preorder a specific balloon from a specific manufacturer. Like we all promised to get ten of them if they were priced $3.00 or less. I would probably snap up ten brazillian 30 long necks at the right price.
If we could promise an order of thousands, maybe we all could be guaranteed fresh latex at a discounted price.
QUESTION TO LOONERS: So someone start this. How many of what balloon, at what price, would you promise to preorder 25 of?
