Why do Elastics have animals/animal names on the bags?

Funny thread. Very entertaining especially since I'm back in elastics.

I've been back and forth between Sea Lion (Stellar!) and Tortoise - depending on what I'm doing. The goal is Tortoise because it seems to be smaller - but gosh they sound slow, don't they? And who wants to trust a sea lion to do any observable work?

I have Impala's. Does that mean movement will be fast?

I think it means they will be run down by the cheetahs and devoured.

My first elastics were called Asparagus. The new, smaller ones are Pineapple. I find them to be better than expected although I find the look of them creepy. The biggest problem is leaving a trail of them from every time I eat. I tried storing them on my finger but they cut off the blood supply.

I find them all around the house. Even in rooms that I swear I never took them off in.
