THE SPINNERS
"You will find this pretty interesting. Cotton candy seems to disappear very suddenly."
In 1975, you paid three bucks for a lanyard flashlight that you could spin around your head. The attraction was the little plastic door that flipped open and turned on the light. Everyone could easily hit everyone else in the head. In 2005, you pay eighteen dollars for one of three flashlight models. They spin multicolored bulbs and diodes, doing the anti-gravity work for you. It is almost impossible to hurt yourself, or someone else, with these lights, and they are wicked cool.
