What would you have said if someone told you a few years ago that animal shaped rubber bands would become the hottest fad among kids since the cabbage patch doll?  Well, it happened.

Yep! Kids are going crazy over animal shaped rubber bands called zanybandz.

All around the country they are asking for them for Christmas.  The glow in the dark animal rubber bands can be found on the wrists of elementary school, middle and even high school kids.  Even college kids are getting in on the animal rubber band craze.

Some kids boast ownership of over 100 animal rubber band bracelets and continue to grab the newest shapes that come out.  That’s the reason stores have been selling out of them within hours of their shipments arrival.   This is the real deal.    Zanybandz animal rubber bands are a bona fide hit. Still, many parents have no idea what they are.

Who knows how long it will last, but at only $4.95 for each 24 pack, it doesn’t really matter.  They come in fun, colorful shapes like squirrels, cowboy hats, alphabet, dogs and more.  When you take them off your wrist they snap back into shape.  They even glow in the dark.

Custom silicone bracelets are nothing new.  They became a big hit with the previous generation of teens as well but this is new.  Well, almost new.  Animal shaped rubber bands have been on the scene for a little over a year but have just now really taken off.

Manufacturers are cranking out millions of colorful animal rubber bands each month with no end in sight.  It is good to see kids sharing and collecting them.  The animal rubber bands are so inexpensive that parents can afford to buy multiple packs for their children to trade at school or give away to less fortunate kids.

For now it seems animal shaped rubber bands are good things.
