    Not really sure what these are for?! I've seen a couple of students playing with them... all they seem to do is spin?

    I have one of those, but I am attracted to the fidget cube specifically for the clickers and buttons. It'll help me concentrate. Rubik's cubes are more of a distraction?

    Most of them, yes. TBH, of all of the most annoying toys out there, this is the least of them. If my kids want to just sit there and spin these for a few minutes...well, that's better than slapping and hair-pulling each other...

    I used to think fidget spinners were the dumbest things ever.

    I still think they are annoying in schools, and I don't think they are worthy of being a fad, BUT after being given one recently I actually...quite like it! I mean it's nothing amazing, but I can see why people enjoy them, as I found it to be quite fun.

    Those online fidget spinner games? Still beyond stupid.

    They might as well list these as clearance items. Every store I've seen them in has a mountain of them all on sale. This craze has pretty much flamed out. My boys have several and haven't touched them since the end of June.

    I'm a little confused, the packages show them being completely round, but the images show them having little bump-like things on them. Is there "more than meets the eye" to them, or am I just being stupid? :p 

    Personally I don't have any interest in these, but I admit if I ever see the Megatron one for sale I miiiight have to pick it up. If they ever made a Soundwave I'd be sold. :D

    To me, spinners are just the 2010s iteration of Click Clacks, Clackers, Yo-Yos, etc. There will always be some form of toy that involves simple manual operation and feels satisfying to the brain to play with lol. I kinda dig it, honestly, though I'm not going to buy one myself.

    Right? I am always amused that they seem to cause so much turmoil with people. Enough to inspire REALLY strong negative opinions. It's basically a wheel. People are getting mad at a wheel. :lol 

    (yes I know they can be a distraction in schools. If it wasn't a spinner it would be something else.)
