We all know you are a mobster/mafia buff as many of us are. Got a tester question for ya. Everyone has seen in the movies and such that real wiseguys don't carry their money in wallets, instead they elect to roll their bills in rubberbands. There is a specific rubberband most commonly used, do you happen to know what type of rubberband this is?



5 points for the correct answer here. I came across the answer reserching mob videos.

[G's pks]

elastic?

[G's pks]

soprano does not get out of bed till noon...so always wait till lunch time to ask the dead beat anything.

[jjgold]

Its the thin ones

[wal66]

G's, elastic is in correct.

I forgot, TSOP does tend to get up later than the rest of us working stiffs. I'll leave the points up to be awarded for anyone that gets the answer though.

[wal66]

Its the thin ones

JJ, they are intermediate in size but they are obtained from a very specific place. I always assumed a rubberband was just a rubberband but according to the interview true wiseguys can detect an unofficial rubberband wad.

[G's pks]

still guessing

rubber band (in some regions known as a binder, elastic band, lackey band, laggy band, lacka band or gumband) is a short length of rubber and latex

[SamsNCharge99]

you spelled Soprano wrong

[wal66]

G's, the band rubberband in question is generally a particular color (red would be a common but incorrect guess) and if a true wiseguy were to see you with a rubberband other than the one in question would instantly recognize you as a poser.

[BatemanPatrickl]

The kind that is pulled from a head of broccoli. Thick and "skin" colored.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Natural colored.

[G's pks]

shut up bateman no one asked you!

[BatemanPatrickl]

Wal give me my points pal I got it right.

[teaserpleaser]

its the same rubberband they put on lobster claws

[BatemanPatrickl]

Bang bang.

[wal66]

Color is wrong but where it is obtained is correct. Most commonly obtained from a Brocoli cluster but also used for other produce as well. Color though is generally always purple.

[BatemanPatrickl]

Thanks Wally. Call me pal.

[pavyracer]

Tsoprano is a unique mobster. He pays all bets in coins. You can't counterfeit silver dollars.

[Tsoprano]

Sorry Wal didn't see this thread the other day. I was sleeping when it was on the main page.

Easy.. Brocoli bands

[Tsoprano]

And for the record I scrolled right to the bottom and answered. I see someone got it correct now but I didn't get it from bateman or research it.

This was a common wise guy snapple fact
