Slap Bracelets

Remember these?
I remember collecting a ton of these when I went to elementary school in the early 90s. Here's what Wikipedia had to say:
The straightened bracelet is then slapped against the wearer's forearm, causing the bands to spring back into a curve which wraps around the wrist, securing the bracelet to the wearer. The slap bracelet was a popular fad among children, pre-teens and teenagers in the late 1980s and early 1990s and was available in a huge number of then-popular patterns and colors. Today the slap bracelet is considered unfashionable.
Many schools at the time banned the bracelets on campus after students suffered wrist injuries while putting the bracelets on. The school bans helped to usher the fad out of the mainstream once children were no longer able to wear them to classes.
