Elastics Names (bear? unicorn? ostrich?)

#1 Post by swiftchick »

I have these elastics that say "unicorn" on the bag. i remember my sister had "ostrich" elastics with a pic of an ostrich on the bag (we used them for hairbands after she got her braces off...hehe) and i remember my friend had elastics called "bear" with a drawing of a grizzly bear on the bag.

anyway i was wondering what elastics other people have. i remember someone said they had elastics that had guy's names instead of animal names.

so what are yours called?

My last elastics were called Bill.
Out of all the elastics I've worn... these were the smallest.
Bill is NOT a friend of mine :yikes:

Galapagos Giant Tortoise....

Yeah, I laughed too.

"6-1/2 oz, 3/16 in, Heavy" is the rest of what's on the bag.

I've had Gorillas before. I was given them the same day I had Rocky Mountain Stoppers put on my wires, and a powerchain on my 4 front upper teeth. I had quite a mouthful after that appointment!

Right now I have ones with a chipmunk(1/8") on the bag. Are these pictures and names on the bag just for fun? Or serve an actual purpose?
