It’s Alive! Rubber Band Ball Takes On New Life After Being Sliced Open [Video]

Ever wondered what it would be like to slice open one of those massive rubber band balls? Well, a YouTube video is currently gaining traction that allows you to peer into what exactly happens when you saw through the layers of pent energy contained in the overlapping chaos of thousands upon thousands of stretched-out rubber bands.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps to those of us with physics degrees, all of the power does end up going somewhere — though nothing goes shooting out of the pile like you might imagine. Instead, every thread of rubber contained in the strange experiments begins to writhe around in a somewhat unnerving fashion. Worms, maggots, or slimy spaghetti, there’s not much pleasant that can come to mind when you’re staring down a garbage bin alive with the twitching corpses of — rubber bands?

If you’re intrigued enough to start a rubber band ball of yourself, there are thankfully loads of videos already uploaded to YouTube that can aid you in your quest to make your our wriggling rubber band ball evisceration. After all, there’s got to be some great pranks to be had from slicing this ball in two in front of the right squeamish company.
