And before you ask the reason I know this is because I was watching a video on The Know (a gaming and entertainment news report show made by Rooster Teeth) earlier which had "fidget spinner" in the video title (the context of the story is they reported a story about how people are injuring themselves with those toys and the host, Ashley, started by saying "yes this is the kind of news we're getting nowadays" and the whole time basically having a look of "when will this stupid trend end already?") and when I first saw it I was just like "what…?" and then I had to look in the comments to confirm it wasn't just me.

Newspaper comics are making fidget spinner jokes now, the fad is dead.
