Wide Wristbands

Popularity:

For lack of an official name, I call these enlarged armstrong bracelets "Wide Wristbands". They gained popularity lately, especially due to their release by bands, organizations, etc. Some of the most popular ones I've seen are the Keep a Breast Foundation bracelets, where its sales contribute to its nonprofit fund to fight Breast Cancer. The classic slogan written across these bracelet is "I heart boobies" and of course, teenagers have caught on. Others include the names of the band or artist, like Green Day or Justin Bieber. The rest are just little phrases or sayings like "LMAO" and "Mean People Suck". These bracelets are just nifty little things that will most likely fade out as quickly as SillyBandz had. But in the meanwhile, enjoy them.

Religious Bracelets

Popularity:

This fad is a complete mystery to me and I'm not sure if it's only happening in my area but these sorts of religiousy looking bracelets are worn by a lot of people lately. And while "Religious Bracelets" is probably not the right terminology, I didn't know what else to call them because that's exactly what they look like. P.S. though, they don't necessarily have religious pictures on them but they look the same otherwise. But it's somewhat settled down now and it's not so much a rage anymore but I just thought it made an interesting post...
