Rubber bands are really usable. I use them to keep boxes shut - so they don't spill. I give a bag to the mail person so she can bundle our mail. This helps you to get your mail quickly and the wind doesn't blow it away. I also use rubber bands for my hair around tickets and to shoot them across the room as a game.
Excellent stretchability and pull. Best use is plinking flies at 5-10 feet as those useless germ-laden multi-optical scourges on our lives attempt to ruin patio dining. #64 Staples Rubber Bands offer the best value and highest quality product for a quiet afternoon of fly hunting. BTW... the #64 also makes short order of spiders wasps and yellow-jackets too. But if you miss the wasps and yellow-jackets you better be prepared to run. They tend to be allergic to rubber products.
I find this size to be very handy. But I have them in three different locations and happened to get a bad bag that was mixed in along with other ones that were good. They broke almost on contact and some of them deteriorated over a short amount of time. Couldn't get any satisfaction from the employee because I didn t have the bag in question. The bad ones by this time were all mixed up with the good ones.
