Ok, I sort of remember them, but haven't seen one in years.

They were used for putting clothes where they could get pooped on by birds, right?

For closing bags of potato chips, wait, no, if you have chips left, then open another beer. Then the chips will disappear. Easy.

They're useful for so many things
