Genericide Of The Fidget Spinner

It seems everywhere I look, I see stores, gas stations, mall kiosks and even boutiques in Gatlinburg selling Fidget Spinners. Every kid I know has one (or probably more than one). So is FIDGET SPINNER a type of toy or a brand?

If you are not yet familiar with Fidget Spinners, then you must live in a retirement community or post land where kids are not allowed. Fidget Spinners are small, palm-sized devices with two or three weighted arms. You can pinch the center of the spinner with your thumb and index finger and then spin it. Because the arms are weighted, it will continue to spin for quite some time. Yep, that's it. It just spins. The purpose is to promote calm and focus. I have even seen adults with their own Fidget Spinners. I have to admit I pick up my kids' Fidget Spinners on occasion.
