Do you think it's one of the most ridiculous fads ever? Do you have any? If so, what's your favorite?




I find it stupid when people wear like 200 of those on their hand. plus they're like 6 dollars for one pack, well at least for the real ones. the knock offs are like a dollar.

this is weird because my friend just told me about these today. i didn't even know what they were. they look ugly. kids, psh.


when i was a kid we had bands like this but they were just normal bands that were different colors and i forget how it went but they stood for sexual acts. like if you wore a certain color it indicated what you were doing sexually with your bf/gf. i think they got banned or something when teachers figured this system out.

I've seen kids sell these things. 'Tis crazy.

I even know some older people (18+) who are insane about the damn things. They hate when there isn't a certain color of a certain shape. Half of the time, I don't even know what the hell some of the shapes are.

Oh, and JC, those f*ckers are still around (and popular where I used to live). I think they're called sex bracelets. Supposedly, each color stood for some different type of sexual act performed. I don't know any, though, since I was never really into the whole sex bracelet thing (and still aren't).

I remember hearing something like this as well. Or what about the sweat bands that had the characters on them.

...I think tween bracelet fads are an American thing. I've never seen these around. We also never had those sexual act bracelets.

Strangely enough, I DO have a slap bracelet, but I think it's my brother's from many years ago. I always used to call it a "ruler" bracelet because mine had ruler markings on it. Actually I always thought it was just a ruler that curled up, and the bracelet part was just me being ingenious.
