We promised we'd tell you, so here we are.

Smeeks, at 14 W. Camelback Road, has finally received their much-awaited shipment of Silly Bandz!

They're barely unpacked, we're told, but the load includes sea creatures, zoo animals, pet animals, rain forest, dinosaurs, rock bandz, princess, fantasy, western, basic shapes, and more.

And -- if these things matter to you -- they are the "original" Silly Bandz, not the drugstore imitations.

Get 'em while they're, um, stretchy.
