Let me guess...GameStop bought a load of Fidget Spinners and now the cool kids have already moved onto something else, they've found themselves lumbered with hundreds of them. Cue a board meeting featuring someone coming up with a tenuous link with Crash Bandicoot. 'THEY BOTH strawberry floating SPIN, BOSS' It's not even orange!

They probably have some YoYo's out back too. In blue, to flog with the next Sonic the Hedgehog.

Are these guys the GAME of Ireland by any chance?

Ive seen this getting flak elsewhere and I dont get it, theyre giving something away to encourage trade ins, why is that so contemptible?

Fidget spinners are quality. Not surprised Old Man KK doesn't get it.

Real men pull their pants down on the bus and tell kids 'I've got a fidget spinner you can play with right here'.

I genuinely don't know what fidget spinners are or what you're supposed to do with them.

Fidget spinners are meant to be beneficial to children with ADHD, so studies say.

Surely it's because fidget spinners help with people with ADHD which mirrors Crash Bandicoot in some ways
