Silly Bandz... a craze?

Well, I'm up for all challenges, but all of a sudden my two kiddos have discovered Silly Bandz... apparently they are these rubber bracelets that are shaped like different things, such as animals, cars, I even got suckered into buying the toy story ones... I know...

Anyway, in researching this latest trend I stumbled upon their website, www.sillybandz.com (for the "real" silly bandz) and logged into their blog.... they have posted a challenge that could score me 18 free silly bandz if I am one of the first 20 people to accept and post specific information on my blog... so here it goes...

There once was a man from Ohio. His name was Rob Croak. He had an amazing idea on how to entertain children with rubber bands. In the beginning his invention was rough... he suffered several snaps that injured his fingers and hands....but in the end, he developed and created Silly Bandz. Holy Toledo... what a craze! People say that this is the equivalent to the pretty pony craze in the 80's or even the beanie baby craze in the 90's. I know for this mom, these Silly Bandz have entertained my two children for hours on end... they have also caused a few tiffs between "trades"..... now... to add to their collection...



Well, I hope that does the trick. I mean really, when I was growing up we had jelly bracelets and snap bracelets. I think it is great how something so simple has entertained my 10 and 5 year old!

Wish me luck!!!
