Is this craze affecting kids all over the country, or is it just in the south?? If you haven't got about a hundred hanging from everything you possess, then you just aren't cool!!! Maz. XX

Hi Maz I live in Worcestershire and they have been a mad craze here for months now - I have 3 daughters and it is costing a fortune!!!! Their pencil cases are so full with Scobis that they look quite bizarre. One of my daughters is so into it she can make fish, little men and animals with them. Oh well it keeps them busy! Tammy

Blimey - look at all these replies!!! Yes, glittery ones, ones that are different colours all the way down, fluorescent ones. Scoubidou is the name on the bags, but I too thought they were called scooby-doos until I actually saw them in the shop!! Even the boys here have them hanging off their belts, lunchbags, keyrings etc. Seems like those that haven't got it yet, will get it soon!! Maz. XX

Yep, a must have for any child (boy or girl it seems). I have a blue and white one on my keyring and am sitting here next to an abandoned one on my desk (went a bit wrong!!) B****y plastic string thingies lying around all over the house. Yes, when daughter asked for scooby doos - I thought eh what you on about (image of cartoon brown great dane in my mind) then saw scoubiedoos on the bag when I bought them. Keeps them quiet for a bit anyway. Kxx

Jean, they look like liquorice shoe laces, but are plastic and come in loads of colours. They are plaited together to make long strip things that you can attach to key rings etc. See www(.)scoubidou(.)uk(.)com for some pictures! Maz. XX
