They're inexplicably popular, ludicrously simple and kids in America are going absolutely nuts over them. No, not the Jonas Brothers. We're talking about Silly Bandz.
Conclusive proof that simplicity rules, Silly Bandz are colourful silicone shapes that can be worn as bracelets or used as rubber bands. Take them off and they magically return to their original profile. Clever, eh?
Our spies across the pond tell us Silly Bandz are being collected and traded at a quite staggering rate; some schools have even banned them and if that isn't the sign of an era-defining craze, we don't know what is.
There are seven different Silly Bandz sets to collect, including Sea Creatures, Princess, Pet Animals, Zoo Animals, Rainforest, Sea Creatures and Rock n Roll. Collect em, trade em, wear em and even use them to secure your thesis on daft crazes of the early 21st century. Look, don't ask why, just buy!

I think these are great. I think that there should be posters for them. Then they will not only be popular in America but in other places to. Nobody's got them where I live. Anyway, they are much better than a normal elastic band. BUY THEM.
Silly Bandz are amazing! I know they're just a bit of rubber elastic that's shaped, but it's because they're so simple that's what makes them amazing! The beach and rock band pack are awesome and I like the fact that the beach pack change colour in UV light :D
I recently worked at a summer camp in America and the kids were going wild for these - trading wars were not an infrequent sight, and I even encountered a prison-like usage of Silly Bandz as currency! I love them; they're so random and funky.
