My daughter has a Peppa Pig one from her 1st birthday that is still inflated, she is 4 in October. It is one of those foil jobs though.

I guess balloon technology has moved on from when I was a kid, when they'd go flacid after a day or two.

There is a science to this! It all depends on the mvtr of the material and the integrity of the knot.

Doesn't the quality of the blow come into it?

 

I can imagine use of teeth would have a negative impact.

If they'd only last a little longer you'd only have to buy one every 2 years.
