Are you addicted to Silly Bandz?

[~Phoenix Death~]

My opinion, don't use it for a fact.
Uselss. You might as well be wearing a breast cancer support braclet.

That's supposed to be a hair dryer and a bottle of perfume.

Never heard of or seen any until I just read this thread. I googled it, and I dont see the point of making/having any. Would be the most uncomfortable bracelets ever. ._.

I'm guessing these are more of a regional thing?

Silly bands are silly; don't buy them. If someone gives them to you, melt it into a liquid and see if it can be used as lube. Probably not.

Post contains win.

Everyone hatin' on silly bandz. I will explain the power they have with this brief anecdote:

Today, I stole my friends giraffe silly band. She bought me an Oreo blizzard so I would give it back.

So true. At my school these things are like gold. Apparently there are rare ones that people will pay lots of money for. Lol. But really, you can trade a blue hippo band for like all sorts of stuff at my school. It's pretty crazy.

Yeah, they're pretty common at my school.

BTW: How do you mix up wear and were? (in poll)

This thread makes me feel old. Very old.

 

[Wickex]

If it wasn't for Youtube I would've never heard of them. Here in The Netherlands I've never seen one.

 

[maggot]

the reason why retailer are so crazy about these is because of their margin. they are cheap to produce, cheap to sell, high turns. about 60% margin on the popular one at walmart for $1USD.

i remember pog. even japan had pog.

jelly bracelets were banned from school not much time ago? i think these are of similar effect? blue hippo for sexual favor kinda thing. also the kids say they use them for "bra snaps", launching paper clip, and fashion decoration. i guess it is a status thing to have a yellow sunglasses and a blue hippo.

 

[supercuber86]

Theyre so dumb. The original silly bandz r so hard to find because so many companies copied them and they get the money.

 

[Lux Aeterna]

What is this I don't even...

I can't even vote no, since I have never heard of silly bandz. Nothing respectable replaces a plural -s with a z, though, so I can only assume they are an asinine fad of some sort. Silly children.

I've only ever seen one at my school and everyone went crazy over it.

If it makes you feel like you're too old for this silliness, well...I think it's a good thing in this case.

 

[JeffDelucia]

Unfortunately they are quite popular in my school. I'm in 10th grade too...

I love the silly bandz! im a nanny and the children i care for go CRAZY for these. it is almost ridiculous, yet im sure VERY cool to kids, how many different types of these things you can buy. they are in every store imaginable, even gas stations, coming in every color and shape you could ever want. i actually bought one of my kids a silly band necklace ?! it is a rubber necklace with tiny silly band charms that hang from it- i suppose the goal for these would be to collect tons of charms now for the necklace?
they CAN be expensive depending on where you buy them though!! seems silly to pay $4-5 for a pack of shaped-rubber bands, right? Of course, Walmart is decently priced for most everything, but parents.. if your child is crazy for sillybandz and you don't want to spend that much this might help.... silly bandz at walmart
