It looks like a one of those chinese finger puzzles....if that is what they are called.......your fingers get stuck in them and the more you try to pull them out the tighter it grips to you fingers....

Aren't they Mexican? i used to get them in my stocking every christmas, or when we went on a really long car journey so it would amuse us for hours.

Chinese Finger Traps. The trick to getting your finger out is not to pull, but to push your fingers forward so the thing losens up.

actualllly... its a snap bracelet....They were popular in the early 90's in the US.  They are a straight piece of metal covered with a colorful cloth that when struck against your wrist slightly will coil around it.  She has a few on her wrist as well if you can see the bracelet bands are the same width

hmm....could be either.  i always called them chinese finger traps, but, knowing my genious for getting things right, they probably are mexican finger traps. all i know is that those things are tricky, though awfully amusing to the easily amused ( such as myself )

I love slap bracelets too!  Hey, does anyone here happen to have a leopard-spotted slap bracelet they'd sell me?  I used to have one that was kinda sentimental to me, but it's missing and I'd like another one to replace it.

Aaah it's a slap bracelet! I've seen those with little clocks in them which you can use as a watch. Thx for the replies.

they banned those in school because people were getting cut by them when the fabric wore away....little clocks eh, with such a dangerous device as is i wouldn't rule out the possibility of them being timed explosive devices...
