The Spinner Trend

When we arrived at this toy store this morning to film the kids’ big hit, the
spinner, we realized how great the success is. (They) were out of stock
before we got there. “There are hits all the time, but not at this level, that
really took. I can’t remember anything like this in recent years.” There’s
not much sophistication here, it’s just a small toy (you) spin with (your)
hands, but it’s succeeding in spinning kids’ heads. It’s much more than a
consumer phenomenon. YouTube is filled with a long list of videos
teenagers in Israel and the world took with their spinner. The adults are
just as eager as the kids to find the spinner, since to them it seems like a
worthy alternative to all the smartphones and tablets, and there are also
those who attribute it with qualities that help with Attention Deficit
Disorder problems. The price range is relatively broad, a simple spinner
can cost ten NIS, but the sparkling and fast ones cost up to a hundred and
fifty NIS. And until the next current hit arrives, demand only keeps
climbing higher.
