Interesting Popular Culture Artifact

I read your blog and was fascinated by the item you chose. I had never heard of it before. About an hour after reading your blog, I was talking to my son, he is 13 years old, and he was wearing some of them on his wrist. I asked him what they were and he said silly bands. It is strange that I did not notice him wearing these over the past few weeks until someone points it out as a popular culture item. I also wanted to just add how interesting it is that things like this become a fad, whether for a short period of time or a long period of time. But now with technology, fads are spread in record time.
