Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Alert! Parents should check this link out Snopes.com just posted this true story about a hazerd when it comes to wearing silly bands Snopes.com silly band injury warning That's using them wrong, of course you shouldn't do that. It's like taking over the counter medication, follow the directions or pay the price. Silicone is rubber.. :| Edited August 29, 2010 by TheDarkCynder Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) They're made out of silicone. And mine don't smell. And I only wear 4 at a time on either wrist. Edited August 29, 2010 by Kayota Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) I think that falls more under negilance to clean. It's just like people who stay in bed for weeks, and end up getting pus filled, infected sores. Same thing with the bands - they start rubbing against your skin, and with the amount they described, and for the length of time they were on (through showering and swimming - great way to grow bacteria in places), it's no wonder it caused problems. I wouldn't blame the product, I blame lack of parental awareness. Edited August 29, 2010 by Lady_Nightfox Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I have only one right now, but my teacher doesn't let us have them in the class room. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I honestly don't see why they're so popular. ^ this Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 ^ this My friends and I just shoot them at each other with our fingers . Only a couple people wear them but I don't see the reason why people like them at all. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 My friends and I just shoot them at each other with our fingers . Only a couple people wear them but I don't see the reason why people like them at all. Oh I did that with rubber bands when I was a kid. Fun, but annoying for my parents... Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Meh. They look a lot like those sticky stretchy hands you get in plastic bubble prize machines... fun for about ten minutes, then you throw 'em away. Edited August 29, 2010 by Tanigi Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 Or the sweet medical kind. (I will kill someone if medical bracelets become a fad...) Gum is never allowed in public schools because people like to be idiots and stick it under tables because they're too lazy to find a trashcan. I know my jelly bracelets got chewed on frequently when I was in high school. So I guess my school isn't really public, then, since gum is never allowed in public schools.

Posted August 29, 2010 So I guess my school isn't really public, then, since gum is never allowed in public schools. pffffft exceptions Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I dun like silly bands. Every one in my school/class has one. Even the teachers. I don't like plastic bands. Especially ones that look disgusting if you squash it in such a way. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I wear then but I don't see why people buy like 300 of them.. And they are WAY to much money. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Anyone see those Silly Bands rings? Now those I wouldn't be able to stand at all. I have some but I don't wear them, they hurt my fingers I just have them because I like the little dinos and because I want to be the first to have silly band rings in my grade. My friends and I just shoot them at each other with our fingers . Only a couple people wear them but I don't see the reason why people like them at all. I do that to my sister all the time she gets really mad then i am forced to shoot at my teddy bears and all that stuff I got like when I was like 8 that I am to lazy to get rid of.

Posted August 29, 2010 I like them. I have about twenty. Just ones I like a lot. I usually just trade them or give em away. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 i hate silly bandz, because i feel like its a competition, i have to have more more more! i kind of gave up on them and decided they were pretty pointless when i was at around sixty silly bands. they were a HUGE fad at my school last year, but this year, NO ONE wears them lol Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 My friend gave me one. I don't really wear it. I find it quite stupid. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) They used to be way popular where I live. Now just a few people wear them. I have a ton. Because I'm just so cool. I wanted some baby shaped ones from Wal*Mart but my mom said no. D8 Edited August 29, 2010 by Icepelt Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I hate them. I honestly don't see why they're so popular. This. They serve no purpose, you can't tie up your hair with them, you can't really use them as rubber bands, they don't look nice, and they're not comfortable. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 Wow, a lot of people in this thread seem pretty hateful towards shaped rubber bands. It's not like they are hurting you. :/ Anyway, I just traded for some Phoenixes. And now I'm happy. :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 you can't tie up your hair with them my friend does that. its a miracle how she gets it out of her hair. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 They're elastic bands with animals on them. It's epic. Like, in years to come, I'll have used one to keep a piece of paper rolled up, I'll take off the elastic band and it'll turn into a pig and I'll be like "OMG I REMEMBER THIS!" and my day will be made. I want some .-. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 29, 2010 I used to wear them, but they kept getting in the way... I don't really mind them, but I don't really wear them either. :/ Share this post Link to post
