Shag Bands..... What are your Opinions?

They use to be popular when I was really young; maybe about 7 or 8. They honestly aren't a big deal because for one, they are incredibly hard to break. You need scissors just to break it, a 7/8 year old isn't nearly as strong enough to break it. Also, they weren't taken seriously, really, no kid took it that far because we still thought the opposite had "germs" or cooties.
