To keep all the top secret photos hidden that I don't want my wife to find.
Call it the RubberSafePhotoMinder and sell it for 3 bucks a pop.

I used a bright red elastic band, only the other day, in lieu of wrapping paper, around an iPod shuffle. I also had a little clip on heart shape (it was a flat shape that had a clip on bit, designed as a shaped paper clip). So, my suggestion: multi-coloured bands for instant gift wrapping (colours and patterns) along with a set of various clip on on shapes to create instant, simple, lo-waste wrapping for goods. (It's also bloody easy to wrap something with it, since all your doing is putting a rubber band round something...)

interesting..
My ideas..
1. Suspension bridge cable
This space is too small to go over the physics of why it would work just as good as the normal materials of poly fibers and steel and nylon..

RFID is a really great idea. Specially for kids.
Say you go to walmart with your kid, get a band at the entrance, if kid gets lost alarms will go off when leaving the store.
Kidnappers will have a hard time explaining.
Now the good part is how to stop the abuser from removing it, while letting the parents do it.
Hmm, get the numbered RFID band for the kid and a numbered card to the parent.
Hmm, complicated but worth the hassle to save a childs life?

Ok, now for the funny one:
Instant headache reliever.
Make head-size bands 1" wide and sell them in infomercials.
"Make head-size bands 1″ wide and sell them in infomercials."
I guarantee you would sell them too! People are so gullible.

Well, I can think of 100 extra uses, but the obvious (and overlooked) is the rubber band itself, how to improve or "add value"? Make it unbreakable, Titaniumified-elastical, throw out the rubber wholesale, and make something that feels exactly like it, but that can perform serious weight-retention properties -- same look and feel, yet with 10 times the strength. Get the commercial-product Chemists on the sniff, as that's how you improve it, you re-invent it, for everything suggested there be just extended uses of, you aren't improving the product itself, and most of the suggestions are quite spurious.
Thinking of 101 extra uses for Rubber Bands, is more suited for a cutesy-Dave-Barryistic-humorified supermarket-mini-booklet, like that Duct Tape book that was all the rage awhile back.
Give me a rubber band able to haul a car...that will be a "value add" that would immediately hit the market with a bang.
Believe me folks there are endless possibilities of using a rubber band. first it is Circular, and stretchable, second comes in various colours and varying width.
I have also drawn a couple of pictures to illustrate various possibilities .
Unlike the last contest with Post It this will have greater innovative answers.
Do go through the blog and put some comments. Thanks

Hmm how about using rubber bands as racket grip enhancers?

Use them to hold bundles of things together. Occam's Razor: the simplest solutions are the best.:-)

Sell interconnecting (via simple pop-lock mechanism like beads) rubber band strips by the box -- make your own rubber band as big or as small as you like.

Use them to hold MORE bundles of things together, bundles of things that weigh as much as cement blocks.

Perhaps Aroma-bands?
