Ah yes, fidget spinners. Putting aside its apparent benefits for those ailed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the latest millennial fad has oldies severely perplexed over why a toy that spins in your hand and does nothing else became such a booming trend.
But booming trends mean booming business, and boy, that’s what has happened. The legions of young kids begging their parents to buy them the thingamajigs have created an industry of variously designed fidget spinners. Which, again, we want to point out, does nothing except spin in place.
Enter Vendetta, a novelty item store that claims to hold Singapore’s largest fidget spinner collection (over 200 variations!) in the showroom — a laudable achievement, we’re sure. But hey, there’s demand, so they’re supplying it.
Many folks unsurprisingly didn’t see the appeal in the do-nothing toys, and they made it pretty clear in the comments section of Vendetta’s promo clip. But the store itself — probably used to all the hate directed at its novelty products — reacted exactly how any millennial would: with a generous dosage of sass, which made for some really entertaining banter.
