I gotta be honest. Something about that name doesn't sit right with me.

It is always ethical to zip tie an SS member.
But that's probably not what they meant.
I'd not even buy this for 3 actual figs, and I have a fig tree
I live in a bit too cold of an area for growing figs, but actually having a fig tree sounds amazing. I love figs, but I only very rarely get any to use. Did you grow it yourself or was it already there?
It is one of a few fig trees I planted with my family about 10 years ago. I live in Germany so this has just recently become possible as a rare climate change W
How… how do you take it off?
Cut it off and buy another one. Seriously who ever rotted the brains of the petite bourgeois to the point they'll piss money away on this stuff really did a good job.
Petite bourgeoisie? This is pure decadent garbage. Even I can’t think of a petite bourgeoisie I’ve met in my life that would spend $800 on a zip tie. Even their stupidity has limits.
This is designed to get even one rich idiot to buy it, because even with just one sale, they’ve made a complete return on the operation.
The real rich can afford to pay people to have taste on their behalf. Outside of a small subset of musk/kanye esque douches, most wouldn't be caught dead wearing trashy meme shit like this or suprem. The main market for this stuff has got to be braindead poser wageslave or failson of local dealership guy.
Yeah, this just screams "Rich kid who uses daddy's credit card for everything and doesn't understand the value of anything."
You can use a small knife to depress the tab that locks into the ratcheting.
I do it a lot to re-use zip ties
That's the neat part. You don't
I've been able to pull it out, and usually they can be re-used without any problems.
The expenses for kidnapping are really getting out of hand. How can you expect a small business to turn a profit in this economy?
I feel like the whole point of buying that is just for flexing on poor people.
There is no way you can flex on anyone with it.
If someone just wears it the average person will think: "Zip Tip bracelet, huh whatever"
If you go out of your way to tell people how expensive they are, the average person will think: "Wow you are really pathetic and insecure"
You just can't do it.
I'd just think they were lying and were passing off a $1 ziptie as a $700 one.
flexing what? that you're an idiot?
it's difficult to dismiss this as fake, after remembering the wristbands of "live strong" (well...those were for charity, but alas) or the fidget spinner
On the picture it looks like it's not really a zip tie, I think you can lock/unlock like a real bracelet but it looks like ziptie when locked
So this is definitely money laundering, right?
No way is that real
