@shahnm Did you forget? LED & Bluetooth fidget spinners contain batteries. However they also contain bearings susceptible to corrosion. There’s a delicate balance in finding proper storage for these.
@jandrese@shahnm My fridge does not have a Fidget Spinner drawer. Which drawer in your fridge has the least condensation and yet is cool enough to maintain your batteries?
@jandrese@sligett This is one of those rare exceptions to the usual storage recommendations. These items should be stored in a landfill underground. Deep, deep underground. I believe there’s some room available next to the Atari 2600 ET game cartridges…
@shortman Buy the bluetooth ones and then go to a Hipster Bar and tell them you’ll trade one for beer.
Knowing how much Hipster like anything Popular, Makes Noises, Lights Up they’ll take you up on it so spending $14 here could net you around $35 worth of $3.50 draft beers
I for real want to buy these Bluetooth ones just for the historical value of how weird we got with spinners, but I can’t afford that and food and VMP next week. Plus I already have other meh spinners sitting in the box. Send help.
Am I the only one who wants to get the bluetooth spinners, pair them all to an old phone, hand them out to all my friends at the next camping festival, then blast eerie sounds to their tents in the middle of the night…
I had a friend in college, who if you passed out while he was around, would find a flashlight, then wake you up in the middle of the night by shining a flashlight in your face and screaming “TRAIN!..RUN!”
I could see playing train sounds to all of my sleeping buddy’s spinners, then following it up with a beam to their tent as they started groggily coming to…
Or even playing bits of Barry Manilow tunes at various times throughout the night…
(j/k…I’m “too nice” to ever really do this, but if you steal my idea, I want to hear how it goes…)
@shahnm lol…it all started when my dog tore up a frog toy, and my friend salvaged the voice box thingie that ribbit-ed…and saved it for the next camping-bonfire, where he proceeded to drive everyone crazy. THAT is when the games began…hahahahahahaha…
@JT954 One technique is to throw the fidget spinner very hard at your Bluetooth device. I believe this generally voids the warranties of both the Bluetooth device and the fidget spinner.
@ciabelle@JT954 At $0.90 a piece… Anything better than scratchy AM radio quality is a win… actually even if it squawks something barely recognizable as the source material, I’d be satisfied.
Aw, if I wasn’t broke, I’d totally buy a bunch more of those LED ones. They were such a hit at the party I gave them away at. I handed out 46 of them, and still had people come looking for them after I was out.
@Sapper Don’t they have 90 day mediocre warranties on them?
Just send meh! a customer support email… what have you got to lose?
You might get a box more of crappy fidget spinners sent to you , or you may just get credit for the “busted” spinners that may amount to a buck or two depending on how much you paid for them in the first place.
@Kidsandliz and alot of LEDs and a bunch of speakers… Plus lots of Bluetooth sound circuits to hook up to various things that I’ll never get around to making. . Oh, the unexecuted plans of tech parts hoarder…
Ehh I still need one more small thing to put into my nephew birthday present so why not get him something that’ll irritate the crap outta my sister in the process a two-fer-two fer tuesday!
Oh hello Meh, you’re back! I was beginning to think I had the wrong site with all the interesting, nice, different, non-bluetooth items that we’re being posted. Thanks for proving me wrong!
@yeppers I’m not fuelling a laptop; I’m looking for a replacement which will fit inside a super-flat mouse, also some that will drive laser pointers; small size is crucial here. Also I will have white elephants to give away at Halloween (whatever I don’t tear apart).
I don’t often read the product thread (only bought half dozen things in 2 years) but I came today just to read what you all might do with these.
/giphy making me smile
These are so terrible I am almost tempted to buy them…but since they didn’t come with candy corn or any left over conversation hearts (the candy corn of Valentines Day), I must resist the urge to completely waste my money on an almost-meh Tuesday offering.
I talked myself into 20 of the BT ones. Then I looked at the amount of craps I’ve bought from meh. Thought about canceling my order for a bit. Decided I still have not learned any self-control and need to be reminded again from the wife when the credit card statement arrives.
Why was there an original composition today? You would’ve done better to copy the description from Amazon verbatim. It’s marketing gold.
Perfect GADGET to relieve stress, anxiety, ADHD, autism, quitting bad habits, killing time or just helps you focusing. Enjoy a much easier life after you’ve just Quited SMOKING. Keep you calm regardless your circumstance or immediate environment. This is the best Anti-Anxiety tri-spinner fidget TOY!
It relieves autism for heavens sake. You’ve buried the lede.
I have a set of superhero fidgit cubes I got at Walmart for a buck each. They’re nice because you can hold them with a thumb and finger while driving with two hands on the steering wheel. I use them while dropping my kids off at school because they never pull forward to the end of the loop and back traffic up to the stoplight WHAT THE FUCK YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOUR FUCKING KID CAN WALK FORTY FEET FROM YOUR FUCKING TESLA TO THE DOOR IT’S NOT EVEN FUCKING RAINING YOU
clickclickclickclick Better.
Nice. Up here visiting from Central America and was looking for a cheap source for these for all the kids there. I never click on Daring Fireball links because they aren’t relevant to me where I live but checked this out, bought 40 and will make kids happy! Hope for more goodies in the next week, like something I can use.
@mehno Tomorrow they’ll probably be offered at morningsave.com, where you can buy more. In fact, there’s a lot of stuff there that started out on meh.com. It’s the same company.
Really not sure why I did it. But I bought a 20 pack of the metal ones and a 10 pack of the Bluetooth ones. I haven’t even gotten rid of ten of the led light ones. But…I’m going to try to have some fun dissecting the Bluetooth ones. I’m sure I can come up with some fun uses for a tiny Bluetooth speaker…
So, by random color, MEH means it’s like what Henry Ford supposedly stated in regards to the Model T. It comes in any color you like as long as you like black. Two orders to prep for Halloween and all are black? What are the odds?
Got my 30 or so (haven’t counted) Bluetooth speakers… I just grabbed one to try out before I left for work.
Bluetooth Speaker Fidget Spinner Review:
Plastic enclosure is more nicely finished than expected, no rough edges or sloppy fit between the top and bottom halves.
Flishy flashy LEDs flishy flash.
Spinner spins, albeit with a slight wobble.
Bluetooth speaker squawks AM radio quality squawks.
It’s not balanced quite right, so the “arm” with the battery seems to be heavier than the rest.
Impressive BT range, more than my Jabra BT headset… at least 30ft from my cube.
Plays a really annoying, super loud start up sound every time it is turned on. It’s so loud it clips on the speaker.
Low battery “chime” is also really loud, but not so much that it distorts.
When the battery gets close to completely discharged, unit goes into a boot-shutdown-boot-shutdown… loop playing part of the super loud distorted start up sound before it shutsdown… thank the makers for a physical power switch.
I thought that the sound coming out it would be affected by spinning, but it seems to not make a difference if it’s spinning or not… it sounds pretty much the same.
Comes with a small built in 222mW 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery (can read the wrapper through case of the clear “black” model.)
The LED’s can’t be turned off while the unit is on, so there will be a continuous flishy flashy light show as long as it’s turned on.
Conclusion: Meets or exceeds expectations. Definitely worth $0.90.
Still can’t imagine why anybody would want a fidget spinner with a built in bluetooth speaker… let alone 30.
@thismyusername I bought a couple from Gear Best before Meh got their grubby little hands on them. I had the same reaction. But it’s the LED ones I keep in my car and purse. So shiny.
Got mine,first one I tried was a non-spinner but the next one worked. Worth the $10,maybe I can scare the crap out of someone with the bt speaker “STOP I’M GETTING DIZZY”

@PlacidPenguin I would of sent them to @sammydog01 after giving some to my mom.
Cuz, ew.
Taking us for a spin tonight eh meh?
This will never end…
@shahnm Did you forget? LED & Bluetooth fidget spinners contain batteries. However they also contain bearings susceptible to corrosion. There’s a delicate balance in finding proper storage for these.
@shahnm @sligett The delicate balance of “not under water”?
@jandrese @shahnm My fridge does not have a Fidget Spinner drawer. Which drawer in your fridge has the least condensation and yet is cool enough to maintain your batteries?
@jandrese @sligett This is one of those rare exceptions to the usual storage recommendations. These items should be stored in a landfill underground. Deep, deep underground. I believe there’s some room available next to the Atari 2600 ET game cartridges…
Jeez, now I’m the sucker for having paid $10 for 2 of the Bluetooth fidget spinners last year.
@lljk How do the bluetooth ones get power?
(and I don’t mean “by overthrowing the LED ones”)
I wish there was a site to trade these for beer.
@shortman Buy the bluetooth ones and then go to a Hipster Bar and tell them you’ll trade one for beer.
Knowing how much Hipster like anything Popular, Makes Noises, Lights Up they’ll take you up on it so spending $14 here could net you around $35 worth of $3.50 draft beers
Meh, delete your account.

@zachhh Same here (OK, not That bad) but I bit on the light up bluetooth spinners cause they were there, plus they’ll make great F U gifts!
@venussuz good on you! If I can’t order the, I need other historians like you to pave the way.

Pre-pair your phone to them, give them as gifts to your coworkers, then play inappropriate sounds to them at random intervals
@lichme Brilliant!
I have a stack of meh spinners already.
They spin.
@daveinwarsh meh.
I’d almost rather see another candy corn deal…
@pyudin Be careful what you ask for. Very very careful.
Well @shahnm if they sold more you could probably get a charge out of the candy corn and run your fridge
@pyudin @dave

How do you turn bluetooth on and off with a fidget spinner? How good is the speaker?
@JT954 One technique is to throw the fidget spinner very hard at your Bluetooth device. I believe this generally voids the warranties of both the Bluetooth device and the fidget spinner.
@JT954
@JT954 As to sound quality… Hahahahahahahahahaha…(Gasp) Ahahahahahahahahahaha
@JT954 wow! this is like the rotating Leslie speakers and the birth of reverb!
@ciabelle @JT954 At $0.90 a piece… Anything better than scratchy AM radio quality is a win… actually even if it squawks something barely recognizable as the source material, I’d be satisfied.
I spin(d) my wee hours at night waiting for the next Bluetooth speaker and you give me this? Spintastic Meh
Aw, if I wasn’t broke, I’d totally buy a bunch more of those LED ones. They were such a hit at the party I gave them away at. I handed out 46 of them, and still had people come looking for them after I was out.
bluetooth speaker was the only logical extension of this fad
/buy all of them
@username Sorry, this deal contains 3 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. You can review how to pick one, or just try ordering from the checkout page.
My bribe doesn’t make you pay me a dollar to take them
I hope the bearings in these are better than the bearings in the ones you sold last time you were trying to unload these with a pitchfork.
Half of them barely turned–they were clearly rejects from Chinese factories. “What do we do with these? They failed even the lowest grade of testing?”
“Ehhhh…use 'em as the weights in those Dollar Store fidget spinners. Nobody will care.”
@Sapper Don’t they have 90 day mediocre warranties on them?
Just send meh! a customer support email… what have you got to lose?
You might get a box more of crappy fidget spinners sent to you , or you may just get credit for the “busted” spinners that may amount to a buck or two depending on how much you paid for them in the first place.
@bbf It was the outer bearings–the “weights”–not the core bearings that they spin on.
Of course, I’d bought them assuming that the outer bearings would be perfectly serviceable like in the ones my kids had. Oh well.
@Sapper What do you need so many bearings for?
The fact I’m sitting here considering buying these makes me feel like I’m in a codependent relationship with Meh.

I’m predicting the clubs gonna be popular!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@mistamoose Yup $5 a month is a very big investment !
It is a lot if I’m not buying anything from meh. It looks like I got 1 thing on average per month last year, so I guess it’s a wash.
WTF! Meh, you guys/gals continue to surprise me by finding newer versions of bluetooth docks to foist upon us!

@Kidsandliz and alot of LEDs and a bunch of speakers… Plus lots of Bluetooth sound circuits to hook up to various things that I’ll never get around to making.

Oh meh! buyers, please oh please with peanut butter on top… can you can find a deal on “Programmable Bluetooth Fidget Spinners” like these?

@bbf shut. up. Seriously? adds these links to my Weird Unique Gifts list Thanks!
Do I need more spinners? NO. But 10 bluetooth speakers for $9? What the hell. I already spent $80 on Funko Pop figures this month.
Bonus point for comparing fidget spinners to Tribbles. Now I strangely want a furry spinner… that purrs. And procreates at an alarming rate.
@mehcuda67- Sorry, I was using your post to try and see what some of these command do like the one below thanks for playing along!
Ehh I still need one more small thing to put into my nephew birthday present so why not get him something that’ll irritate the crap outta my sister in the process a two-fer-two fer tuesday!

You can do better than this, Meh.
Bring back speaker docks!!!
figit spinners are so 2017
@cranky1950 Thus the presence on meh.com.
Honestly, I’m going to harvest the battery from one of the Bluetooth units.
@PocketBrain demanding-brainless-net
@PocketBrain They’re 60mAh batteries. They’re probably fine for jokes or maybe homebrew thing locators, but they’re not super duper full of charge.
I guess if you get 30, that becomes 1800mAh, which is starting to be something.
@yeppers I’m not fuelling a laptop; I’m looking for a replacement which will fit inside a super-flat mouse, also some that will drive laser pointers; small size is crucial here. Also I will have white elephants to give away at Halloween (whatever I don’t tear apart).

I assume they all still fall apart in the mouths of the sensory seeking individuals for whom they were intended
“Random colors” = some lazy asshat grabbing all one color because it’s too damn difficult to reach into even a second box
@BuffBillsFan Yup. To the meh warehouse crew, “random” = whatever is most convenient for them.
New record: hit “Meh” button in .025 milliseconds.
This is some dumb crap. Even if it does have bluetooth.

@sammydog01 Oh good. It’s not just me.
@sammydog01 The day my kids started driving themselves to school was one of the greatest days of my life.
Is there a threshold as to how many times we need to mash the meh button so as to never see fidget spinners again?
@ohhwell You would need to mash the Buy button to make that happen.
@PocketBrain For some reason, the buy button is oddly not as satisfying to press all the time.
How many of these things did you buy?! Someone do the math!
@makhay Number of truckloads:
You rolled a total of 451

Boooooooo, meh! This again? What a waste of a Tuesday. Disappointing.

The sheer… ingenuity? of adding bluetooth speakers to fidget spinners shocks me.
But, once it existed it was bound to appear on Meh.
Somewhat tempted, but the last LED spinners were pretty terrible. The metal ones were a hit!
Bought just so I can play ‘You Spin Me Right Round’ on them.
/image sleepy-operative-war
Really not sure why I did it. But I bought a 20 pack of the metal ones and a 10 pack of the Bluetooth ones. I haven’t even gotten rid of ten of the led light ones. But…I’m going to try to have some fun dissecting the Bluetooth ones. I’m sure I can come up with some fun uses for a tiny Bluetooth speaker…
@savvysapphire thats how i ended up with a bunch of old iPod button re-locators from og woot and didn’t know what to do with them.
I bought the two for $15 as shitty birthday gifts and now they have 10 for $9. I’m in
youse guys gotta nock off the peanuts- da circuss long gone! just tryin ta hep yus out.

@sammydog01 Why does everyone online seem to want pics of my feet?
@wew are you on a foot fetish website? Maybe that’s why.
@RiotDemon Not that I know of. But i’ve run into a few foot peoples. They seem like the nicest folks around, but wew! they really like feet!
So, by random color, MEH means it’s like what Henry Ford supposedly stated in regards to the Model T. It comes in any color you like as long as you like black. Two orders to prep for Halloween and all are black? What are the odds?

thats random.
the bearings are of the most crappiest quality on every one of them.
@username that’s some crazy odds! So random!
all black led spinners but they miscounted so i got extras!
the bluetooth ones i got a pair of each color: red, white, blue, pink, black. they are oddly good: loud, colorful, and all ten connected.
