What’s the deal with the "Silly Bandz"?

Does anyone know what in the world is so spectacular about these “silly bandz“? If you haven’t heard of them, they’re these little rubbery bands that are in the shape of animals, dinosaurs, etc. They are extremely popular here in Huntsville and my boys are begging for them!! I let Carter get a pack for a reward this past week. Apparently, all the kids try to wear as many as they can on their arms and they trade them with their friends.

You can by a pack of 24 for $8.00 at Zazzy’s here in Huntsville. They are the only place in town that carries them so many people just order them online. It’s amazing how something so simple can be such a hit!

    Jamey - I've noticed all the volleyball girls wearing them too! They have only one or two at a time…guess that's the 'cool' way for older girls. It's always going to be something isn't it!? Remember the jewelry in our day that had the plastic chains and charms! Wonder if that will come back around?ReplyCancel
