Guess you don't have to try hard to sell a product if people are addicted to it, be they cigarettes or fidget spinners.

Strangely enough, I almost never see fidget spinners anymore, and I work with kids. I do keep having to pick cigarette butts off the ground tho (not from the kids).

My daughter has dozens of the things, but she also has ADHD and anxiety and they help her focus.
