    This is one toy or item I personally think won't be around for long. There's been so many cases of children being hurt, or hospitalized the courts should be busting in law suits.
    I surprised that the public safety commission hasn't already had these pulled from stores.

    What ever happened to twiddling your thumbs? Another lost art.

    Sort of like the clackers (or whatever they were called) from the 1970's.
    They would catastrophically shatter spraying high speed plastic shards all over the place.
    Naturally the eyes would take the worst of it.

    In a society that wraps kids in bubble wrap and hands them a participation trophy, while banning the game of tag, they need to find a way to get hurt somehow. :rolleyes:

    When I was a kid, we didn't have stuff like this, we just had to play with ourselves.

    An old friend of mine created clackers, Bud Smith. His did not shatter. I sold thousands of them where I worked. People hit themselves in the head and broke fingers.

    They are almost dead and the price is dropping. It may pick up when school starts again. I'm stuck with a few hundred. A friend of mine is stuck with a container from China and has a second container on the water. The factory mad a killing on these. I know this really smart kid that sold over a hundred of these at school to other kids. Some schools will not allow them any longer. Crazy stuff.

    Haha I saw this too a while back. It would be the only reason why i buy a fidget spinner(the coin related one that is). That and for self protection. Them Things are like ninja stars, if you don't want the lethal force.
