Physics teaches us they should be round like a soap-bubbles. So there must be something in the production that gives them their shape be it balloon, banana or sausage-shaped.....

...what is that? And how do they do it? Why NOT round?

Balloons are manufactured from a liquid rubber called latex. Balloons are "dipped"; during the manufacturing process a balloon form (or die) is dipped or immersed in the latex and the latex takes the shape of this balloon form... elongated, round, oval, square....

Its called elasticity. The rubber in a balloon varies in thickness, density, and stress. The combination of these variables determines the shape.

They are thick at the inlet end and so stretch out more at the other end when pressurised. So, that characteristic shape is called balloon shape.

The "factor" of the balloon would be a curved shape and additionally you will could desire to renowned how this curve is expressed mathematically. in case then you definitely use Integration (calculus) then you definately will locate the section decrease than this curve. then revolve that section to locate the quantity.

No No No, its because a circular shape or oval is easier to expand than any other shape

Because the person who made this was fixated on his member and made it shaped like banana like.

because of the pressurizing force (we scientists just call it mu), which causes a baloon to retain its unique shape.
