  Retroland - Slap bracelets

 Slap bracelet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A slap bracelet (or snap bracelet) is a bracelet comprised of layered, flexible metal bands sealed within a colorful fabric cover.
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.

Slap bracelets were hugely popular in 1990; 20 million were sold, including the original Slap Wrap brand sold by Main Street Toy Co. at $2.50 a pop, and several cheaper imitations that sold for a dollar or less - at a time when the U.S. economy was in recession.
Walgreen Co. recalled its imitation slap bracelets nationwide after a Connecticut 4-year-old sustained a cut on her finger, and many schools simply banned slap bracelets after other incidents.

I don't think there was anyone that I knew who was ashamed of the Slap Bracelet, or wearing 10 of them on their arms at a time.
Slap Bracelets were basically a toy that you would peel off of you arms and put back on in a slapping motion that very much resembles the technique heroin addicts use to identify veins in their arms before 'shooting-up' or whatever the colloquial term that junkies are using these days, I'm not sure about that.
So, my affliction with Slap Bracelets is, in a rare lapse of honesty, nothing but for the purpose of having something trivial to rant about.
