While I`m tempted to make this into a humorous poll, I`ll instead just ask: Why? Why do Japanese rubberbands suck? Am I buying the wrong type? Is the technology just behind the rubberband technology of other countries? Does everyone else notice their rubberbands on their flashcards are fossilizing and falling apart after a few weeks?
I`ve got food-flashcard soup in my flashcard basket. And I`m not hungry.

You've got a bucket? I laminate my flashcards and punch holes through them and stick them in a folder.
I too have noticed the same thing with the rubberbands over here. Maybe it's the higher humidity that is affecting them? I do notice they tend to use more string over there than back home...

as i tend to kill trees at a rate of 3 to 4 a day, i wouldn't know. perhaps it's the salt-sea air?

Did you basically ask if there were over-priced products in Japan?
Sure there are...but I'm not sure if they are any better...

Haha, tell that to my schools, too. Have yet to see these mythical rubberbands of yours.
Ha, there you are. That`s what I want in exchange for the books. Non-crappy rubberbands. ; P
