Hook Up Bracelets

In 7th and 8th grade most girls in my junior highschool class wore those "hook-up bracelets"  created from the inside of a soda cap.  In theory, ripping one of these bracelets would mean that the girl is obligated to hook up (tongue kiss, not fuck... I asked) with the person who ripped them.  Sometimes girls would wear 5 or more of these bracelets, I suppose in case 5 different guys ripped them before she could get another soda.  The ironic part about these bracelets, was that the girls who wore them were prudes, and ripping one produced pretty much zero effect.  I would walk into science and find some of my friends ripping 8 at a time from a girl who is clearly trying to defend herself.  And then, nothing would happen.  The girl would sit back down and life would go on.  No hooking up.  It was estimated that it would take 10 bracelets to get a handshake, 25 for a hug, and 40 for a kiss on the cheek.  His mere 8 bracelets earned him a fleeting glance, and he had two bracelets left over to apply to a wink should he acquire more.
