A Chinese newspaper revealed that recycled condom hairbands are widely sold in different parts of China. Yes, you heard right! Condoms are recycled and used to make hairbands and then they are mainly distributed in local stores of main cities like Dongguan and Guangzhou cities of famous Guangdong province. These disgusting recycled condom hairbands are nothing less than a villain here, a wolf in sheep’s disguise. Chinese have given these hairbands a very attractive exterior with definitely threats inside. Even though recycled, these hairbands carry numerous bacteria and viruses infecting those who use it. Girls and children holding it between their lips while styling their hair were cautioned as they were unaware of such recycling. Hairbands made in this manner are sold in packets of 10 that cost less than $2AUD and may have already reached far away countries like Australia, Europe and US. This revelation is going to repel many consumers to plastic products marked as Made in China.

I could hardly believe that a tote bag could make me nostalgic but the Fred Cassette Tote took me back to those days when music meant a tidy music player that needed cassettes to play the songs. The old memory of those melodiously quaint cassettes has been reinvented by Fred in its tote bag made of lightweight plastic material. The handles of the bag, designed as the unwinding reel of tape, makes me remember those irritating moments when tapes would suddenly roll out of the cassette turning Mozart into Bon Jovi! CDs replace cassettes ages back, but if a $16 Fred cassette tote hanging on your shoulder brings back the past with style, why not try it?
