I use the big rubber bands to go around notebooks that are too full or for large many times too large for regular zize rubber bandsstacks of papers I would like to keep together
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
