Rubber bands last longer if you put them in the fridge.

"In all things, entropy is usually the boss, meaning, when things are at their most basic broken down state, they tend to last longer. And anything at a higher more complex state will tend to have a much shorter life span. Such is the same for a rubber band, when a rubber band is stretched it causes its polymer chains to become very ordered and it expels thermal energy (heat) thus shortening its life. But when a rubber band is in its relaxed state it is very unordered, and will cool when going from a structured state to a relaxed state. So when a rubber band is put in the refrigerator it makes the polymers even more relaxed, because of the way they behave in the cold. But something to be careful of is immediately stretching the rubber band after being in the fridge. This will cause it to weaken significantly because of the rapid change in the contrast of states.
