So, I was thinking about that lady who presented before you did, the one who was trying to reshape a basket, and spent hours positioning foam blocks in the corners, and, would it have been possible to like, use inflated bags or something instead? so much less positioning and so much more blowing!

foam vs. air.
well, in the long run (and we're usually talking a fairly long time), balloons usually loose air. and then, there's the chance of over-inflating (for those exuberant blowers out there) which could put pressure on areas of the basket, particularly the corners. and, it's hard to custom make a balloon in the shape of that basket. anything else would likely not provide the right support without causing stress on other areas. that's my guess, anyway.
