No reason to have a problem with the Livestrong ones, it's the rip-off ones that tend to tick me off.

For instance, I took my sister to Adventure Landing (a Putt-Puttesque place for those that don't know) a while back to hang out with her since I don't see her as much as I'd like. After 3-4 hours there, I pull all my tickets out of my pockets and give 'em to my sister so she can get some prizes for herrself. As she's telling the guy that no, she wants the red stuffed dog, I look around the case to see what all's in there. There's a row of bands there for about 10 tickets a piece, packaged like Livestrong bands, yellow like Livestrong bands, have words cut into them like Livestrong bands... so I figure they're Livestrong bands. I bend down to get a closer look at them 'cause my friend saw mine and asked if I could get her one. They're turned every different direction in this bin, so it's hard to see them clearly. Finally I see one with the words pointed towards the window. Those words: Cut Carbs.

I don't think Lance Armstrong started making those bands for the late Mr. Atkins.
