## The story

Hold it straight, slap it on your wrist, and the Whap Band curled into a bracelet with a satisfying thwack. Kids wore six at once and slapped them on each other's arms in the hallway. The cheap ones split open and exposed the metal, which is how a ban notice reached every classroom.

## Fun fact

The cheetah print band was so popular that one school banned only the cheetah ones.
