I asked for them and you stocked them.

They're great when you need an extra long band and the best is that they're extra thick so the heat and cold doesn't affect them as quickly as the thinner types of rubber bands.
Excellent for large "piles" of stuff to transport Excellent for those food items you've opened yet don't have a "snack snap" for. Putting around Christmas Cards as you tote them to the post office Many many uses
I used these wonderful large rubber bands to hold shoe boxes closed for Operation Christmas Child. They hold the biggest boxes well! However these rubber bands are about the most expensive item that I purchase for this non-profit project. I would appreciate a break on the price - maybe with larger numbers of rubber bands per package and less paper and plastic for packaging.
Every year we get involved wtih Operation Christmas Child which collects shoeboxes filled with gifts for needy children around the world. In previous years I have always had trouble finding rubber bands that are strong enough and flexible enough to stretch around a shoebox without breaking. These worked perfectly!
I teach an after-school magic class at an Elementary School. The class on rubber band tricks was colorful and fun. Thanks to the big rubber bands the students could see how each trick worked. They then had a colorful prop with which to perform for friends and family. The big rubber bands are inexpensive and durable. The colors are a bonus feature.
