I don't either. In fact, I don't believe much ( or any) of the info presented as "science". There's an agenda behind everything, & it's presented in ways to advance that agenda.

I don't have anything against them, I just can't watch them spin and spin and spin without making me a bit dizzy.... and I do turn it off when they're showing them.  I can't be the only one that's affected by them... or am I.... ?  LOL!

 

 


I am sure you are not the only one LOl.  I do like seeing them spin.  I borrow my kids.  I guess I am easily entertained lol.

Our 7 year old neighbor comes to visit me a couple of times a week and she has one telling me that they bought it to help with her anxiety, I watched about 1 minute of the presentation on QVC and it droves me nuts, how do they help with anxiety, just curious?


I have seen kids with ADHD and instead of fidgiting they sit and just watch this thing spin.  They sell them at 7-11 and walmart.  At Walmart they are about 5 dollars.  7-11 more expensive.  At Walmart you would have to ask someone, I saw them behind the counter and in the toy section. In the car they are great.  Not electronic just something simple.  Smiley Happy

An "agenda" implies something negative or even nefarious. I don't know whether the science is correct or not, but basically, the goal is to sell. Nothing wrong with that unless theses prove to be harmful in some way.
