Scoubidou is a fad in certain countries in 2004 which involves the knotting of plastic tubes.

The scoubidous are supple, round, hollow plastic tubes of approximately 80 centimeters in length. They are sold in various colours, sizes and types. The tubes can be used to make various items by binding them together with special knots. Young and old make key chains, friendship bands and other trinkets. Scoubidou originates in France, where it was already a rage in the 1960s.

Most of the knots used in Scoubidou were known long bevore the current fad. They were executed in Bast and used for similar purposes as scoubidou proper today.

Scoubidous are also know as Bondoogle in the USA and are now imported into the UK by Activity Plus Ltd. Examples of some of the knots can also be seen on there website.

In July 2004 German and Dutch research showed that scoubidou appears to contain an excessive amount of phthalates.

Scoubidou is also a song by Sacha Distel and was formerly the title of the cartoon Scooby-Doo in French.
