Rubber hair ties from china

I received an e-mail from my friend about the rubber hair ties that can be bought from China. They're really cheap and they're just used to tie hair but someone decided to stretch it open and discovered it was actually a used Condom :confused: How disturbing is that?? I wonder if it's true though or maybe someone is just doing it for the shock factor :/

That is so gross, I hope this is not true! I am not sure if my hair ties come from China, but I am almost tempted to cut one open and see whats inside.

Ok, so I went to my bathroom to find a hair tie. I found one, and used my box cutter to open the hair tie. Just thought I would let everyone know, my hair ties are not made of condoms. Quick, check your ties and report back.

I'm pretty sure this is just a ridiculous rumor. I hear things like this and wonder how bored and mischievous someone is, to start such a disgusting urban legend. Still, thanks for verifying it's false. ;)

I have heard this several times and it is thoroughly disgusting. I sincerely hope that is not what my rubber bands are made of. I think I would rather not know.

I need to find the pictures, I only heard about it from a friend. It's pretty disgusting since we tie our hair with it, and I have this habit of holding it in my mouth while fixing up my hair. Euch. Stopped that habit after my friend told me about this. :confused:

Edit: Okay I found a link with pictures! I guess this news has been around for a long time (2007) but ughh..

Here's an AFP news report about it:

LOL, that's disgusting. Someone had to think really hard to start that one. I'm always amazed by what people can come up with and start rumors about.
