What is Slapbands?
1.
Possibly an unique Australian sort of thing...
There a pice of PVC/fabric with steel plate embedded into in, usually covered in some bad 90's design.
People these things were the shit in their heyday.
Between Full House and Vanilla Ice these things are like totally way cool.
Basically you 'slap' the strip onto your wrist and it snaps around it like a bracelet. Sure it's hardly functional and quite dangerous (our school banned them after a couple of weeks, and i think they are outlawed and a 'WOMD' in serveral countries) but god damn, they were cool.
SUSIE - "Hey billy come over here!"
BILLY - "Yeah whats up..."
"OUCH!"
*Billy just got knocked on the head with a slapband which caused it to snap into its circular form causing much discomfort and serveral head injuries....
2.
One of the greatest and most fun trends that any kid growing up in the 90s should remember. Often had rad 90s designs on the outside and either black or a neon colour on the inside. Were banned in many school settings because of their ability to cause great pain to others when used improperly.
"Hey man, do you remember slapbands?"
"Fuck yes, they were all the shit!"
