Rubber bands were originally designed in the late eighties, in an attempt to find a purpose for the world's surplus rubber reserves after the precious mineral was enthusiastically (and entirely unnecessarily) mined for over six hundred years. Rubber was cut into long, thin strips and the two ends were bound together with hot glue, creating a strip of rubber that, when followed, appeared to go on forever.

| - Rubber bands were originally designed in the late eighties, in an attempt to find a purpose for the world's surplus rubber reserves after the precious mineral was enthusiastically (and entirely unnecessarily) mined for over six hundred years. Rubber was cut into long, thin strips and the two ends were bound together with hot glue, creating a strip of rubber that, when followed, appeared to go on forever. Initial uses ranged from this to that, including (but not limited to) something, and even occasionally something else. In particular, rubber bands are known for their many applications in industry, where workers cannot do whatever it is they do without having some (or no) rubber bands available for use (or not).
