Are rubber bands today really RUBBER BANDS?

Are rubber bands today really RUBBER BANDS? IF NOT, what are they? If, they're not made out of RUBBER, should we really be calling them RUBBER BANDS?

They are made out of rubber. Mostly natural rubber, I think.

@StanleyStark I used to work for a rubber company and we mainly used natural rubber. We did use some synthetic compounds, mainly nitrile, possibly SBR if I remember correctly.

Today's "rubber" is synthetic, I think they are derived from petroleum and that is why they do not last at all, they break quickly as the months go by.

@MrGomco @MrGomco Yes they do, that's interesting.
