Scoubidous / Scoobies / Skewbies <~~Whatever the hell they're called.

It is the latest crave taking over people by uhh storm... *cough*. I dunno if it's just the U.k. or Manchester in general, but have you seen kids making these strange things called "Scoubidous"?

They're basically thin peices of coloured plastic string, and you just loop it and make... well I don't know what they are. My little sister informs me that they're keychains or bracelets lol. My little siblings are sooooo into them, I've seen tons of people with strings out making them (Even at my college). It's crazy. They look like this (These are my little sisters creations lol):

 

Close up of the type of "string" you use. Available in every colour, glittery, pastelly, thick, thin, extra long, long etc lol.

They're actually called Scoubys.

They lasted about 2 weeks in our school, then people figured out that the strings could be used as whips.

If you walk around my school, you will see bits of that string on the floor in EVERY corridor!

Haha, the government banned all sorts of toys here! I remember the jelly like ball thingies with the liquid in the middle. Those were suppose to be poisonous as well and they were banned everywhere. I hope it's not the same for the string lol. Too many people are making them here. They have gotta be safe!

 

Looks like we're "Out of date" here lmao.

Yeah, I've noticed those around here as well. I have one that my friend made me.

yeah, i was kinda shocked about that cuz i chewed on them lol, but i dint get sick, so its prbably not that bad. I have made some too, but it got bored real fast, i still have a lot strings, i put them in a big coloury glittery knot around my bed plank or whatever its called, looks funny though.

Yes, indeed she was.

 

I forget what these are called, but they've never been "popular" here. To me they are those little crafts I did at summer camp and after school care in elementary school. I don't know what the hell you're talking about being poisoned. They're just plastic!

I think they are ugly. This is my first time hearing of them, except on ND.

Alot of people used to make them when I was in 6th grade, it was a trend kinda. Now only some people at my school make them they put it on key chains and stuff.

August eighth, two thousand and seven was the best.
