I/ve always been frustrated with rubber bands that seem to disintegrate after a couple of months after they've been used to secure things together especially in the winter when humidity is low and the heat is usually turned up. I first bought a package of these rubber banks a year ago and have used them to band things together in all sorts of ways and stored them under all sorts of conditions and haven't yet found one that dried up and failed under all sorts of usage (including wrapping around opened frozen food bags and left inserted in a freezer for weeks or more) and also left in very warm and dry weather conditions (such in a room in my apartment that is essectially a closet but always too hot and very dry in the winter from the steam heat in my flat). I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who need rubber bands to secure anything together.

The rubber bands from Staples will stretch your budget and hold what you band tighter than any other brand in the land. I guess I would rate your Staples brand bands grand.
I learned that the Florida heat causes rubber bands to decompose and that I should actually refrigerate them. So I bought a bag from Staples and put them in the fridge. Now I can have a dependable rubber band each time. (I used the ones that came on my mail prior to this and they never lasted long.)
What can I say they are rubber bands. They aren't broken. I didn't count them. I liked some of the reviewer's thoughts though. I doubt they will save the world from Covid 19 but you never know.
