I use these large diameter rubber bands to bundle clothing or other items I am donating to outreach organizations. Have even used them to loop "shoes" together so the "matching shoe" doesn't get lost from its partner if they get tossed into a bin with lots of other similar sized units. Just wish they had a different color. . . . Several years ago I came across a fair sized bundle -maybe a 100??? - and the bundle included dark purple bright pink and teal blue! Those were sharp looking and attracted attention; made the "almost like new - gift items" more appealing. Unfortunately I have never again found colored ones in this large size - at that original price point! I can still find the tri-color in small packages but the price-tag is ridiculous - so I'm stuck with the basic khaki/mustard tone variety. Functionally great - just no "zing" of appeal to them.
