I have these elastics that say "unicorn" on the bag. i remember my sister had "ostrich" elastics with a pic of an ostrich on the bag (we used them for hairbands after she got her braces off...hehe) and i remember my friend had elastics called "bear" with a drawing of a grizzly bear on the bag.
anyway i was wondering what elastics other people have. i remember someone said they had elastics that had guy's names instead of animal names.
I've had Gorillas before. I was given them the same day I had Rocky Mountain Stoppers put on my wires, and a powerchain on my 4 front upper teeth. I had quite a mouthful after that appointment!
