Yeah, you're right - I think they've changed the compound to make them "bio-degradable", trouble is if you keep some to use later, by the time you do they've "bio-degraded"!!
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
Re: stretchy......snap
i thought the same.. maybe we should start a campaign for classic elastic bands..

I still have a 1990 Post Office elastic band.... but does it qualify as a classic?

Fred Dibnah made reference to matches not being what they were, in one of his programmes; he said they now seem to have short grained wood.

Nah, a Post Office elastic band will never be a classic, the only classic ones were used on the Morris Minor or Porche production line ......I still have a 1990 Post Office elastic band.... but does it qualify as a classic?
