But whereas you or I would probably be tearing our hair out or wandering the sewers like the Phantom of the Opera in a bitterness-induced rage from losing out on millions, Hettinger is completely chill about the whole thing. 。

“There’s just a lot of circumstances in modern life when you’re boxed in, you’re cramped in, and we need this kind of thing to de-stress. It’s also fun. That’s the thing about culture, once everybody starts doing it, it’s kind of OK.”
Teachers aren't exactly sharing Hettinger's rosy outlook, as the toy has become something of a distraction for students and a nuisance in the classroom. But some believe the spinners could be a useful focusing tool for students with ADHD or autism. 。
