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?

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.

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 Les

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...

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