Strange fact: there seem to be no medium-weight rubber bands in Japan, at least not for sale. You can get scrawny, stringy ones, or you can get massive, inch-wide ones, but you can’t get anything in-between. I have no idea why that is. But it is.

So when I went to the U.S., one of the items on my shopping list was, strangely, rubber bands. I happened to stumble upon a rubber band ball at Fry’s Electronics.

Certainly one of the strangest things I’ve had to import….
