    Where I live this weird rubber band thing is getting insanly popular.
    First of all let me tell you what these rubber band things are. They are rubber bands that comes in a shape of an obect or animal or living humans as an example I've seen a car shaped rubber band and a shark shaped rubber band.
    So do any of you know what in the world these are and why they are so popular!?:confused:

    Called Zany bands/Silly bands you can get them at CVS or walgreens, no idea why they are popular, but they will pass in a year or two just like yu-gi-oh

    This is actually huge where I am. I really don't mind them, but seriously, I saw one shaped like a shoe and another like a glass coke bottle. Not cool.

    the only ruberbands that are acceptable to where in public are Livestrong bands...they support a good cause and they have a pretty cool look (yes its plain and yellow but i like the basic feature of it)

    I've never seen any of these. But it's just a fad, it will pass. It sounds like there's really no purpose to them anyway, other than little kid fashion.:rolleyes:

    It's the latest rage for the young'ns these days...

    *old man voice*

    Back in my day we played with POGS! Not some stupid rubber band that does nothing!

    Any other past pog collectors here? :p

    It's just another fad, like slap bracelets, pogs, MTG (still popular? Eli?), pokeman, and now silly bands... But really it's a pretty dumb fad if you ask me...

    I just wish i was the guy to say hey let's make rubber bands into shapes, pretty sure whoever it was made a mint over night...:(
