Rubber Bands!

I have started a collection of these. I have dinosaurs, a sword, a parrot, a horse, and a bunch of Toy Story 3 rubber bands in various colors. I know it's weird to be grateful for rubber bands, but I like how this trend is creating conversation between people in school who wouldn't normally talk to each other. The question "what shapes do you have?" accompanied with a gesture to someone else's wrist is now fairly common. Before these rubber bands were popular, that would have sounded extremely strange.
