Hey all, amy--

We are not nuts.

Bar-loks do exist.

This website proves it: http://www.calrf.com/avery.htm

Yes, as listed, they are a BRAND NAME of cable ties..

But show us some respect here.. this is like the Kleenex thing.. no, not all tissues are Kleenex brand.. and it is only a brand.. but if someone says 'hey, do you have a kleenex?' you understand what they want..

i think that if i say 'hey, do you have a bar-lok i could use?' it should be commonly understood that it is a little plastic locking device that i long for..

Us bar-lok fanatics just want a little respect.. we just want to be understood!

And ya know-- andy's right (*everyone ducks*)

BAR-LOK sounds much tougher and robust then cable tie or tie wrap anyday!

Well I can speak for Michigan when I say, no....they are not bar-loks...

It's like this:

We have Faygo, who began the whole 'pop' thing. Everyone else everywhere else in the world calls it soda. That's only because they haven't had the pleasure of having Faygo redpop, rock n rye, moon mist or orange pop around them in culture for so many years. And we will continue to call it pop.
i don't think anyone is 'right.' we are just choosing to call them tie-wraps. and besides, how the heck can a name for a plastic wrapping device intended for bondage that has a zip lock on it have one name that sounds 'more roboust?'

sticking up for the d-town teams,

erin

p.s. however, we do believe in bigfoot.

p.s.s. yes, the buttons will be available in march.

p.s.s.s. no, the revolution will not be televised.
