Guess Who Wore the World’s First Rubber Wristband?

We recently came across an adorable mother-son picture featuring a big moment in rubber band history.

Below is Bonnie Swayze, our president, holding her son, Beau.

Notice what’s on his wrist.

Beau is sporting the first rubber wristband in 1987.

While countless people wear rubber wristbands today, Beau was definitely ahead of his time!
