Silly Bandz!!!! The 'Pet Rock' of 2010!!!
Someone came up with multi-colored elastic bands that start out as a specific shape, like an animal or a car. Then kids decided that they were fun to put on their wrists, like loopy colored bracelets. Then some guy named Justin Bieber started wearing them. So did Sarah Jessica Parker. And now, Silly Bandz is a multi-gazillion dollar corporation!! Remember the 'pet rock' and the 'slinky', cabbage patch kids and 'Tickle Me Elmo'? Silly Bandz is poised to join these incredible examples of merchandising gone mad! Doesn't it make you want to invent something?
