The mission was to get some rubber bands for my husband probably 1/8 of an inch wide. At Staples I found a big full bag of rubber bands that had all assorted sizes and colors. My husband is doing a project of sorting and catagorizing baseball cards by player and team so I thought he could use the different colors to help identify teams. Also the extras he doesn't use that are smaller and larger thicker and thinner can be used around the house for all sorts of things. I use rubber bands for a variety of things around the house such as holding meal sized bags of microwaveable food closed a few days until I serve the rest with another meal. I hold boxes that tend to fall open closed with rubber ands I can't think of anything that can do that job better.
Rubber bands seem very insignificant but when I need one and cannot find the correct size it is very frustrating. This bag of assorted sizes and colors is great it have the correct size for anything I need. The bag contains very small one for small project and much larger ones for the bigger projects or for a project that needs extra holding power and I love the colors. I am a color coordinated person and the colors add to my coordination. I use these rubber bands in my office in my sewing and of course in my kitchen.
