I work in a bike shop as a mechanic.. and since this is a Lance Armstrong thing, we get close to 20 people a day coming into the shop specifically looking for these things. They are hard to get and we cant get them in fast enough.
And this has been going on since before the election.

Some of the schools in the area were actually offering kids extra credit for buying these wrist bands. We have tons of kids coming in every day looking for them. At one point a pre-teen girl walked into our store and before she said anything, one of my co-workers yelled "WE DONT HAVE ANY LIVE STRONG BRACELETS LEFT". Then she said "Oh OK" and walked back out.

At least its going to charity. Really this is a good case study for charities on how to run a successful donation campaign. Make it trendy.
