Rubber Animal Bracelets

Rubber Animal Bracelets

Rubber animal bracelets first made their appearance on teenage wrists in 2008 as the original brand Silly Bandz, but due to their overwhelming success, other companies soon followed suit. Eventually, major companies (such as ChaCha!) began merchandising their logos or characters on these famed bracelets too.

About Rubber Animal Bracelets

Silly Bandz were first sold online in 2008. They began to be popular in the same year on the East coast of the U.S. They are now sold in over 8,000 retail outlets in the U.S. In some classrooms, they have been banned for being too distracting. Silly Bandz were cited as the first rubber animal bracelets, but due to the overwhelming success, other companies began their own line of shaped bracelets in an effort to harness consumers and compete with the original.

Not all Silly Bandz are silly. Stephen Colbert popularized the 'LiveStrong' band, in support of the LiveStrong program to raise money for cancer research. 70 million LiveStrong bracelets have been sold to date, with individual bands selling for $1 each.

With so many kids wearing silly bandz, parents started to freak out a little. Rumors circulated that each color of silly band meant that the wearer would perform a particular sex act. The rumors became so rampant that some schools banned them altogether.
