Dodgy Stripped ' SA 24" ' Clone Pin Pop

This balloon is a crappy clone of the well-known SA 24". The original "SA" brand is still being made in Argentina by Tuky, and you can buy it directly from them. This one was made in Brazil by a company called Riberball and was sent to me a few months ago by a friend. Albeit more expensive than the original SA, which my friend couldn't buy as it is not available in the country(imported goods in Brazil are subjected to draconian import duties ranging from 80% to 300% or more), it is much lower quality and hard to get to the correct shape. It is also very soft and very soapy, so much so that it can be inflated straight away using a hair dryer. This particular one came with two massive weak spots on the tip of the head, an area less prone to cause a balloon to pop, but still shows a complete lack of quality controls. At least the balloon didn't have the typical strong chemical odour from brazilian large balloons.
