New Trend Alert: Silly Bandz

Move over Pokemon & Beanie Babies, a new trend is being banned in middle and elementary schools around the country: Silly Bandz. These brightly colored rubber bands come in various shapes and are perfect for bartering with on the playground. I don't claim to understand this trend, but as someone who collected quite a few pogs in her day, I give kudos to the children for latching onto something that actually has a practical use.
