Band Ball Conspiracy! Call the Fraud Squad!

As we all know the Bumble and bumble Band Ball has taken over gift guides around the world. Seriously, it's everywhere, I can't open a magazine with out seeing it! However, when it comes to actually purchasing the 100 count elastic ball, it's nowhere to be found! I'm guessing its sold out from the mountainous press it has received - or is it? (insert suspenseful music)

The Band Ball is a practical item - which this Pretty is all about! I go through hair ties like tissues whilst gallivanting from work, the gym, and home. So I don't mind shelling out $20 for 100 bands. Why not buy in bulk?

So my hunt began...I did a product search on the company's site for 'band ball' and nothing came up. They should at least tell me the ball is sold out, unavailable, or on back order! Before I got riled up, I thought it must be on Amazon or ebay. Alas, my search turned up only products - no ball! Wait...isn't everything supposed to be on ebay? I know, this is getting absurd, and yes I am very upset and ready to get all Sherlock Holmes on this buzzness!

I even discovered this desperate Craigslist posting in Kansas, a man wants to get it for his wife's stocking! Poor fellow, too bad his wife will have to deal with having hair in her face this holiday season.

Let's face it, if I can buy a Christmas Condom Gift Stocking on ebay, then why can't I find a single one of these Band Balls?? Seriously, has anyone even seen one in person??

I'm am now questioning if the Bumble & bumble Band Ball even exists! The company probably just made a few of them to get press; because the website is obviously more focused on the real movers & shakers of their product assortment - the gift sets! The gift sets are their smart golden child while the Band Ball is the pretty cheerleader!

I feel betrayed. My quest to be practical and buy in bulk has failed me. Maybe I should join CostCo?
