Heard of Silly Bandz? If you live in the Mid-west or the East Coast you have, no doubt.  All of us on the West Coast are just now catching up.  (I was just talking to a family from England who hadn't heard of them yet - YOU'RE NEXT, CHAPS!)  We heard about them earlier this year and brought them into the store, crossing our fingers that they'd find an audience.  Ummmm....the audience found them.  AND HOW.

It's totally taken off.  I've seen four year olds have melt downs in the store.  I've seen high-schoolers deliberate over which type to buy.  Vacationing parents loading up on souvenirs to take home, skeptical tourists buy them recluctantly.  I KNOW they are glad they did.

They are simply rubberbands.  In the shape of stuff.  On your wrist.  That's it.

Kids trade them and collect them, schools have banned them, the guy who invented them? A ba-jillionaire.

We've got them in the following themes (ranging from $4.95 to $6.95 a pack):

Snack Foods
