ok, this is really random, but here goes anyways - there's always this pastic string/thread that's in the craft section. It's not that wide, but it's not really thin. They are always sold in packages with a bunch of different colors, and the colors are always super bright. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

I used to try to make bracelets with it when I was little, but they always came undone.

I have no idea what it's used for, and I'd really like to know so that I can make things with it, the colors are always so nice!

ha ha! I used to make bracelets & key chains with it. I think you have to burn & melt the end pieces to stay together.

I didn't know that is what it was called though. funny

We used to make keychains and lanyards out of that stuff... Funny I didn't know what it was called ether, I think we usually called it "plastic string" but I doubt that was a brand, just a description:D

once! We made a barbie dress out of it! It was pretty awful.. But we thought it was creative.

Lol, boondoggle is a goofy name. I like it though, it has a cute sound. I had never seen the material until now.

Scooby Doo's ? :P

Yeah I remember them too of course. After the big craze they caught a lot of dust on our shelves tho, lol .. Who knows they might get popular again before long, many toys do :)
