Estimated Delivery end of June . You know, when these stupid fucking spinners are no longer popular and you won’t be able to give them away for free.

Or you can spend 2x to 3x as much and have one right away. Which is what all three of my kids did.

Coworker tried four stores to find one of these things for her kid and failed. I still have no idea what they are or why you’d want one.

Mine too. Wasted $12 when I wasn’t looking.

Keeps your hands busy. Good for those than need to fidget constantly, and for those with learning disabilities I’ve heard.
One of my coworkers was given one by a customer because he’s always clicking pens and shit.

These often come up at 3 for $10 online. But in local stores, you

re lucky to find one for $5. Most are $10+.
I used to knock them, but they’re kind fun and can teach kids about gyroscopic stability.

My daughter bought one for $12. I immediately showed her how many on Amazon Prime were going for less than $1.

There’s already been one near-choking event related to these. Kid accidentally swallowed one of the bearings and it got caught in her esophagus. Expect the consumer safety folks to jump on this soon.

I got one of those cubes because I’m always fidgiting while working on paperwork and such. Saves wear and tear on my tweezers and other actually useful items around my desk.

We got ours at the grocery store for $4, a day before the school banned them from classes. :(
They’re the same bearing sets as on mu wheelchair castors.

I don’t get it. These have the little spinny bit of plastic in the middle that the rest of the spinner rotates around but why do they have a bearing in each arm? What are those for? I’ve never seen anyone try spinning them by the arm somehow so I’m at a complete loss why there’s *bearings* there

Different holes for different fingers I guess. I’m sure there’s YouTube videos of all the different ways to play with ‘em.

Why? They’re $5 at any Five Below store, if you have them near you. Kids are really clueless when it comes to money.

I think that may have been a way for them to get more weight out near the ends of the spinner to help it spin better. Granted, that also could have been accomplished with just a metal weight.

Because they had a table at the dance competition she was at filled with trinkets and crap and even though we told her not to buy anything, between performances while we were in the auditorium watching others, she left the dressing room and gave into peer pressure or some shit.
Its her money, and I taught her a lesson afterwards.

They’re not entirely useless. They can be used to explain some physics, gyroscopes, etc. Spin one between your fingers, rotate your hand, and feel how the weighted disc wants to right itself. Kind of cool.

Learn pain suppression techniques! Try and stop it from spinning with your tongue, your ear lobe, your gentleman’s sausage!

Maybe dont let a kid young enough to pull a bearing out of something and eat it to have one of them

The kid is 10 years old that should be old enough, don’t you think?
