I don't know how this would compete with phones and apps, but Japan...

because tamagotchi has a cartoon show and poo poo in japan, and they show tamagotchi shorts before movies. make something cute and marketable enough and anything will sell if you're told it's good.

americans generally skip the cute and marketable part of this equation so they only hit the part of the population that believes everything they're told.

Yeah pogs, slap bracelets, koosh balls. Magic cards and tamagotchis were around there or a little after. All those things have use. A fidget spinner does not.

oh come on, i'm sure you could stack fidget spinners on top of each other and slam the gently caress out of them with your really fat fidget spinner
