Purchased these to keep garbage bags fallen back into the trash cans. Works great! Much cheaper than the special bungie cords that accidentally get thrown away. Keep a bag of these rubber bands in the pantry.These are LARGE rubber bands. Great price and big enough to secure a large pile of folders, or whatever else you may need them for.Sooooo I buy these as a toy for my cat and now dog. So I can say they hold up Very well at leastThey worked great for what I neededgreat to hold garbage bags in caN....Exactly what I wanted. They have a different texture that doesn’t seem to wear with age.Large, flexible.Nice size stretchy as hell and durable
