So, rubber bands are made from...rubber bands? Honestly, I had no idea.

When have they made enough? That pile would last forever, and is probable just one days production.

500000 rubber bands per hour

Back when truck tires used inner tubes, there would always be a person at the truck stops selling large rubber bands cut from the tubes.
The furniture haulers used these to secure the moving pads to the furniture.
