abigail commented on the word jelly bracelet
Jelly bracelets or gel bracelets are rubbery bands which can be worn one at a time or hooked together. They became a fad when a bracelet was created by champion bicycle racer and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong to help raise money for cancer research. The success of his "Livestrong" yellow wristbands inspired both other non-profits, and for-profit companies, to sell colored wristbands.
