Talk:Gel bracelet

message: Looking at the "livestrong" bracelet on my friend's wrist, and the array of spoof bracelets previously mentioned, I don't understand why anyone would call them "gel" bracelets.  They are not in any way gelid, as that term is used locally.  In my area, roughly mid-atlantic East Coast USA, they are called "rubber band bracelets" because they are distinguishable from thick rubber bands only by having writing on them.  Is "gel" a briticism?
Could we have some dates please, and a link to a newspaper article about the banning. --perfectblue 15:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Do you mean for the charity bracelets, or the urban legend? If it's the former, perhaps, but it should be sourced. If it's the latter, then no, as it seems to vary from location to location.--Cúchullain t/c 20:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, the awareness bracelets are covered at wristband; such a chart should probably go there.--Cúchullain t/c 20:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was the second one, but after reading through a website I got from a G-search (I can't find the site right now), you're certainly right about them varying. // DecaimientoPoético 21:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a color chart would certainly be useful. Something like the List_of_awareness_ribbons which would make it easy to add new meanings. Some of them are not really charity, for example an orange bracelet with the text "Long live the king" is quite popular in Thailand. Ateras 13:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed, those were the ones everyone used to use as fuckbands at my old college anyway. Are the any references for awareness bracelets being used as fuckbands? 86.163.172.249 (talk) 02:05, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a small reference to this in an episode of Still standing, does it deserve a mention perhaps? The controversy I mean because they mention bracelets with similar purposes144.135.180.109 (talk) 04:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I'd like to say that I was in middle school when this fad was popular and the girls who wore them did know the meanings and boys broke them accordingly. I'm sure nothing sexual ever happened as a result, but the meaning was known and played upon by the kids before any mention on the news about it. I don't have any sources to back up what kids did at my middle school, but I know that the whole notion isn't a fabrication.
