Do you tape them to yourself or something? Cause if you just wrap them around your arm or something they'd just look like regular rubber bands...right? How does one wear these things?

Oh, kids at my school shoot BB's out of their mouth with a straw.

Yeah. We rarely have fun at school.

A rubber band is an useful accessory (AKA using it as a makeup ballista, choking people to unconsciousness, even exercising if it's strong enough...) but they're probably quite weak and have gay colors on them, so no thanks.

And Sparkles, this is called fashion, consumerism and another firm getting more money.

Well kids can be amused by anything.
In like 4th grade or something, for most of the year my entire grade (about 50 kids) amused themselves with (I forget what they were called), which basically was summed up by having A pompom with googly eyes hot glued on. Thats it. And it was our amusement.

In 5th grade we had a massive grade-wide Paper Wasp fight. (Paper Wasp - Folded up paper launched by a rubber band)

It was epic...

The best elementary school fad was Beyblades. Why you ask? Because I could pop down to chinatown and get all of the cheap-ass illegal ones that supposedly put out eyes and ate babies when you weren't looking. Put 3 or 4 in an arena, and someone was doomed to go home minus an appendage. Once one idiot tried to pull his out of the arena, and mine (which had little metal spikes that sparked on contact with other metal) ripped a fingernail off. At that point, they were banned so instead we operated an exclusive invite-only league in the woods just off of the property at lunch times. What fun, eh?


Oh, and these rubber bands suck. I'm sure that JD could make a nice graphic showing just how as well.

They say that fads travel eastward, hence why Badnik and I are just hearing about it now. 

There was an article in the Boston Globe about this recently.  There wasn't much of note, but I did see a picture of kids wearing them around their wrists, just like normal rubber bands.  It is stupid, since you can't tell what shape they are when they're stretched out like that.
