Fidget Spinners, ya they are addicting...
 
Not sure i would drop over $20 for one, but I did pick one up at a conference last week and yes they are smoothing and addictive. Maybe I have ADHD?

Hey, anyone see where there are snakes that hunt in packs? :eek:

The new pet rock.

Selling like crazy at my place of work... the adorable little tykes rip open the packaging and throw on the floor in a rabid frenzy to get to their new toy... I believe the 5 second attention span of the average child has now been reduced to 3 or maybe 2.5 second.

My kids each got one with some gift money from their uncle. I wont spend my own money...

I had to look them up to see what you guys were talking about.
Maybe I should just take a used bearing and spin it...

Best

Hey some guy working with some big industrial lathe probably took a long shaving and played with it.

He thought about it.
And he thought about it some more.
And thus the almighty Slinky.

Never lose the child mind...ready to instantly play at a whim.

Spinners, think we always just called them ho's.

ckelly78z 05-28-2017 07:09 AM

I picked up my son's spinner, spun it a few times, and said "Meh" and put it back down.....now get off my lawn !

A guy in my fire house makes them in the shape of a maltese cross. Hell probably be able to retire soon, with the demand that he has for them. Firemen are stupid, we'll buy anything...

My Grandson has about a dozen of them.. Every kid at school has one it seems.

dad911 05-28-2017 11:59 AM

Used to mentor a high-school robotics team, spun bearings/gears/etc to relieve stress. Wish I thought of selling.....

M.D. Holloway 05-28-2017 09:07 PM

Holger 05-28-2017 11:14 PM

Did never understand this hype AGAIN.
What a crappy time we live in!
