Rubber bands or elastics contribute a lot to straighter teeth. They are marvels of physics. Attached to your braces, elastics exert the energy force that creates the right amount of pressure to move teeth. It's important to wear your elastics all the time and change them every day so the force is constant which the teeth like. As for bouncing an elastic off someone across the room, it will happen (don't worry, your aim will improve).

Most folks don't seem to care if the claw bands are on or not for cooking. Some say they impart a taste to the lobster. If you do decide to remove the rubber bands from the claws before cooking, only do so right before cooking and be sure you know how to handle a lobster without getting pinched (yes, it hurts!).

Extractable protein content (EP) of latex gloves varies from as low as less than 20 micro-gram per gram of gloves (mg/g) to as high as more than 1000 micro-gram (mg/g) depending on the manufacturing methods and processes. Well leached powdered gloves and power-free gloves usually show low EP content below 100 mg/g. Rubber band made of solid dry natural rubber contains the extractable protein below 20 micro-gram per gram of rubber band (mg/g) even for high rubber content rubber band.

In 1994 the Maryland Environmental Services (MES) put this question to a series of tests. At the MES request, a testing laboratory subjected 3/4 inch pieces of tire chips to hydrochloric acid (stomach acid). "Visual examination of insoluble residue appeared to indicate only fibrous reinforcing strands were dissolved by the hydrochloric acid. The tire rubber did not appear to be affected in any way; i.e., chalking, cracking, fracturing, etc." (PSI report No. 486-40013-001).
