More than 20 million Animal Rubber Bands have been sold throughout the world since their introduction in 2002. Rubber bands are useful, but they tend to be disposable. Why can't someone design rubber bands that people would become attached to and want to use for a longer period of time? That’s the concept behind these Animal Rubber Bands.
 
This is a pretty silicone rubber band in the shape of Zoo Animals. These bands will snap back immediately to it's original form even if it's used repeatedly.  
 
The silicone is of the same material used in nursing baby bottles, it is heat resistant (to 190 degrees Celsius), cold resistant (to -40 degrees Celsius). In addition to that, it is lightweight and durable, capable of withstanding multiple use.
