Silly Bands are colorful, stretchy rubber bands that are shaped like various objects, animals, or symbols. They became popular in the late 2000s, especially among children and teenagers, who wore them as bracelets. Each band retains its shape when not worn, making them fun collectibles. These bands are often traded among friends, similar to trading cards. Silly Bands come in various themes, including animals, food, and sports, allowing wearers to express their interests. They are made from silicone and are safe for children, contributing to their widespread appeal during their peak popularity.
