Silly Bandz

I see everyone with these shaped rubber bands now on their wrist. It's like so weird. My sister has like a hundred of those things. She gave some to me. It's like a cult of something. Like some glow in the dark. Others sparkle. Some are dragons, dogs, fish, apples, instruments. Just to test a theory on how popular they are, I looked at twenty five kids' wrists and only like four of them didn't have Silly Bandz. So weird.
 
I need to trick some five-year-old into putting all her Silly Bandz onto her neck and watch her suffocate.
 
First my ten-year-old sister and everyone at her school was obsessed with them, and then a friend of mine shows me hers which is shaped like a trumpet (which is THE BEST THING EVER), and then another friend of mine, a male eighteen-year-old, is wearing one and when he finds out the aforementioned friend has a trumpet-shaped one he is just like "YOU MUST GET ME TWENTY OF THOSE FOR MY BIRTHDAY. WHERE DID YOU GET IT. I WANT ITTTT"

and I'm sitting there thinking "my sister, who is eight years younger than you, is obsessed with those things. something's not right here..."

These have been popping up at my school too. What are they for?

Wow, I thought this was only my school? Well, silly bandz are basically a fancy rubber band. They became so popular @ my school because people were already wearing regular rubber bands, so why not have fancy shaped/colored ones? Actually, they're quite cool. I have them on my arm right now... well the two my sister gave me. When I wore them today everyone asked me what shape they were, could they have them, etc. It's I guess just a trend, kinda like those other bands that have stuff on them like peace and such. Same deal. Some like to guess what the band will resemble before the person takes them off. Oh and yes, my sister has a million of them so she has no problem handing them away, even though they're about 5.00$ a pack. :freaked:

Yes, it's the kinda thing that people say, "Man, I sure wish I would've thought of these...", and they're incredibly simple. I sure wouldn't mind raking in the cash >:D.
 
I wish people that wore them could be marketed to to learn how to spell the plural of "band".
 
Yeah, I remember people wearing them a few years, back, but aside from my housemate (who still wears her rainbowy LGBT one), I haven't seen anyone wear one in absolutely ages.
 
I think I've seen those shaped rubber bands at Books-A-Million, but I don't know of anyone who wears them. (Seems like it'd be uncomfortable wearing something that oddly-shaped. o_O) I think there are still people here who wear those livestrong/etc bracelets and sex bracelets, but that's it. Is this a middle school thing?

You did see them there. That's where my sister got them from. No, surprisingly, they don't hurt. Just like a regular rubber band. And yes, they still do. But they're not near as popular as they used to be. And, I dunno... maybe.

Oh and yes, they do need to spell them correctly. But it is only a pun on words so they will sell.

EDIT: Oh, I got an idea! I could make a killing off these! Just sell them for 7.00 because most don't know where to get them! >:D Mwuahahaha....
 
Why don't you like wearing rubber bands? You can shoot them at people :D My cousin said that they were banned at his school because people were shooting them at each other. So the principal just went around with a scissor and just snipped them off people's wrists.
