Oh yeah, a light-up spinner that makes extra noise is really gonna make the spinners look good.

I would probably not have been allowed my hearing aid back in grade school if the damn thing light up like a Christmas tree and played polka music.

I used to have a spinning top that played the lambada. That probably wasn't my mom's favourite thing in the world.

I guess it has lots of meanings. Sadly not as cool as DJ'ing. I was referring to meth users.

Good thing I'm not in school and if there is a higher power I'll never have to set foot inside one again for the rest of my life

Just going to cause some mayhem for the ones that think a god damn TOY is some unholy abomination, when, in reality, it's the guy spinning it that's the unholy abomination. I'll get to have fun pissing off crotchety old people, which is always a joy, especially when they're southerners. Gotta find some way to express my hatred for where I live and the hills people are willing to die on

To be fair, I don't think this toy is an unholy abomination. And I don't think deliberately annoying people is the way to go either.

That's just a jerk move.

Actually, it was created for people with special needs so it's not really a toy. For me, my fidget cube is a way of managing anxiety and it helps me focus at work. It's people like you who make it harder for the people using it discreetly for its intended purpose.

Actually you missed the point so monumentally you hit the other side of the horse shoe.

What is your point then?

[BubblyShell22]

His point is that he's going to use it to annoy people who are against them.

[DisKosh]

That's what I thought and I thought it was a jerk move.

Mine broke. Apparently these guys can't take accidentally being dropped to the floor a few times.

I'm willing to bet they were being sarcastic.

When I was a kid the teachers were always old people who disliked any type of entertainment and just went home watching Jeopardy or "The Price is Right" and "It's 20/20 with Barbara Walters."

How times have changed. Nerd culture has taken over.

Of course... your teachers had been in the 40s and the 50s. My mom was also a teacher and born in the 50s. Therefore she didn't care about games or anime.

Also, every teacher of yours was old? I've had some teachers in their late 20s/early 30s...

Does it say somewhere they're "unbreakable"? Never trust that!

In 12th grade one of my english teachers was only 28, and she was considered the "hottest teacher in school" by my entire grade at the time. The kids in my class would openly flirt with her right in the classroom, but she always reprimanded them whenever they did it.

She looked a lot younger than she was too, since she had long straight black hair, always wore a tight top with a blouse, and generally spoke like a young person would to connect to students better. It was probably the only time in my entire school career where I ever had one of those "hot teachers" that you hear about in stories online.

This is why young female teachers should never teach High School. The kids are at their horniest at the time and I now realize how rough it was for her to try and teach a class at that age. Plus I don't think anyone realizes at the time how teachers could easily get in trouble due to inappropiate interactions with students, even if it's something minor.

Okay I don't tend to be all that big on a lot of 'girly' products, or fads like these spinners that are bound to die out in the not too distant future anyhow, but this is kinda clever... Expand it to more flavors and cross gender and tastes and they might have found a way to keep those things around a bit longer.

That's pretty cool.. although potentially messy.

Sweet Mother these things are everywhere. I saw five different displays of them at WalMart this week, with just about every variation possible. What is even the point of them? Aside from keeping ones hands busy. Bunch of the teens at work have them too. Its nuts. Reminds me of the Tamagachi fad back when I was a teen.
