I was wondering if there's some real process that uses the "twist" trick, even if it's not inverting a sphere.

Packing a pop-up tent maybe? Always seems difficult enough..!

The stowable shades people use to cover car windshields and windows use a twist to fold them up without having to crimp/crease the stiff wire on the exterior that gives it its support.
