Woo. Check out these suckers. Remember these things? Snap Bracelets -- also called Snap Wraps -- were AirHead shaped pieces of plastic coated in fabric that were stiff as a board before you hit yourself with it, causing it to curl up around your wrist like a bracelet.
For reasons no one will ever know, these were actually quite popular back in the day. Kids rocked em all the time. Hit each other with them. Collected different types and colors. Prolly one of the most cheapest things to make, the person who invented them no doubt laughed all the way to the bank.
My favorite style? Has to be the classic zebra:
That was the riskiest/best one. Maybe the cougar or lion skin one too. RLOL. Get outta here with animal skin snap bracelets.
And remember that rumor (trumor?) that a kid died from snapping one too hard. People became a little skeptical after that. Kids know that the wrist is associated with suicide so they def believed some beast of a kid swung this cheap plastic thing so hard that it killed them. Unreal to me.
