They were about $5 a package and there were only maybe 5 in the package....I thought crap those are some expensive rubber bands! I think they are still too pricey, even as bracelets. You can still buy the gummy bracelets at the 99 cents store out here in CA. I am guilty of having bought some black ones a while back. Remember the "Slap" bracelets, the kind that start out as a flat metal band covered in fabric and then you slap it over your wrist and it turns into a bracelet, coiled around your wrist? Man, they should bring those back!Amber Von Feltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893607211762877902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-25479269899613977122010-07-08T12:16:36.691-04:002010-07-08T12:16:36.691-04:00I miss the gummy bracelets.

They were just sitting there in the checkout line calling my name. So I bought them, but I threatened them with their lives telling them that if they gave anyone their silly bandz that I wouldn't buy any more.

I was still in HS actually so 2003 till 05. I still rock them, I like them a lot, theyre just hard to find in 99 cent stores these days. They used to be everywhere now theyre scarce. The problem with these were and still kinda are the assumption that theyre sex related. Kids didnt even really know about the sex relations until people blew it up. I remember selling them in school along with the meanings cause people didnt want them snapped and owe a favor. SMH! I was 14-16 around this time so now I look back like damn, the media misplaces too much for us. Mainly it was the college kids playing the snap game then came down for HSers.Oh well I guess.

I don't remember us having those here, but the Spazzy Bandz, or whatever they're called, get a big thumbs down.
