These are rubber bands. That's it. Nothing more than colorful, large rubber bands.But, they are nice rubber bands. They stretch because that's their job, but they stretch back without snapping because they aren't old, rotting rubber bands, but rather nice, fresh 21st century ones.Nice big, fresh 21st century rubber bands work great for an old 20th century man with a big ol' 20th century rubber band ball. See that ball? That ball may have some old, dry fragile rubber bands many layers deep, because those rubber bands are likely older than you, especially those first little rubber bands that started this ball when my normally normal husband decided to make a little rubber band ball for no apparent reason. He isn't the creative sort, he isnt even colorful. For years, the man wore only jeans, beige and brown.Nope, this is the last man in the world that one would assume would have ever looked at a rubber band beyond it's utility.In fact, I suspect that you, too, are looking at these rubber bands for their utility. And I can speak to that quality with the great authority of a creative packrat, the type who you would wrongly imagine might be harboring a rubber band ball.I imagine these rubber bands would be mighty useful for a trillion things. I am the kind of person who never throws out anything and have all sorts of useful rubber bands and all sorts of probably not so useful rubber bands, because you never know what you have to wrap together, what you might have to fix, what you might have to gerry-rig, or what you might want to create that requires a rubber band. And I can attest to the fact that these rubber bands are good rubber bands if you need big, fairly strong rubber bands that do rubberband things.But, if you are compelled to start making a rubber band ball perhaps one afternoon when you are early in your career, grateful for any job, but questioning a college degree in philosophy, consider that little ball coming to shape in your hands as you ball up a couple of rubber bands might stick around in your office your entire career growing just as slow and steadily. And rubber bands are all about holding it together just like you're trying to do, so you might get attached to it and start realizing you might as well just keep adding more bands.Well, one day when the ball gets too big for standard office bands, broccoli bands and most the other rubber bands that just happen in your life, you're going to have to actually buy rubber bands.Luckily, nowadays there is Amazon and Amazon has these rubber bands, exactly you want. Even if your ball is an old, neglected ball with brittle old bands that you fear would break if you dared remove one, these rubber bands are like magic. They will protect the decrepit old rubber bands bands, helping it last perhaps all the way to your retirement. They will add color to your life and make you happy. And maybe they'll even compel someone who loves you to write an impossibly long, five-star review because the only thing she can think of that you've ever ordered from Amazon are music, protector's for your old vinyl and big, colorful rubber bands. And that's five-star happiness.Edit: Husband has awakened and informed me he began that ball back in elementary school, back in the 70s.So, I was very wrong and very right in my original review.He did not begin that ball shortly after starting his career. He did not begin it in college. He wasn't even in middle school. All implied connections between having balls and job growth are profoundly wrong . But I was right about the man I met in college: He never would have started a beautiful rubber band ball.Kids, the time to start on your balls is now. If you can read, start linking up rubber bands until you think they are ready to start making into a ball. You'll figure it out by yourself. He did.You've got a whole life in front of you, and that rubber band ball might last over 60 years. Just go find a rubber band and more will follow.Maybe your parents or someone will even keep for you for a few years when you leave home and thought you outgrew it.If so, maybe someday you will decide to bring it back with you and help it grow until it needs big rubber bands like this fine pack and be as happy as he is when he admires the big, beautiful ball of colorful (and useful) rubber bands out of the corner of his eye as he endures another Zoom meeting.I know what he wants for Father's Day and Amazon delivers.

These rubber bands are lethal. I’m not even sure if they were meant for office use or some kind of secret military testing, but let me tell you—they’ve turned me into a certified marksman.I’ve been launching these bad boys at my coworkers like a medieval siege, and the results are glorious. Bob from accounting? Crying by the coffee machine. Karen from HR? Hit so hard she started filing paperwork mid-sniffle. The accuracy is next-level, and the power? Let’s just say I’ve considered wearing safety goggles myself out of respect for these beasts.They’re durable, stretchy, and have this perfect snap that leaves my coworkers both impressed and slightly terrified. Honestly, I think they’ve started wearing extra layers to work.If you’re ready to bring chaos to your 9-to-5, these rubber bands are your new best friend. Just be prepared for awkward team meetings where no one will make eye contact with you. 10/10 would launch again. 🎯😂

These rubber bands came compressed/vacuum sealed. They fluffed up well and worked well. They measure about 7" unstretched.We are using these for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. They work, no breakage, even when doubled around a shoebox.

These are great rubberbands. There are many different sizes in the pack and are not flimsy.

Needed some larger bands for model making, these work very well and I've used them for a lot more. Should have bought the bigger pack, they always come in handy.

Horrible quality. These rubber bands ripped within minutes of using them. DO NOT BUY!

I needed some rubber bands for the home and since I don't know CC's or MMS or anything like that in measurements, these are thin and very long. They are colorful though. What else can I say. I need a fatter ones and shorter ones but I'm not ordering anymore cuz I have three orders of different brands and they turn out to be all the same size. Or about the same size. Of course, that's my fault. I hope you have better luck.

Fantastic size for using to bundle file folders. Different colors could be used in color sorting, at a glance.

This is the first time I have purchased these. They are exactly as described. I am able to stretch them out and twist them around 6 months of payroll paperwork, without over stretching them. So far they seem sturdy.

Competitive price and strong material .

Thes elastics will stretch out to almost 20” very durable and strong

I bought these to put around the lip of my compost to hold the bag upright so it wouldn't keep slinking into the can. Works very well for that purpose and also for another small square garbage can in the bathroom.

Depending on your use, these will probably work well. For repeated use to the life span maybe short. Just something to consider.
