Suggested Serving: In the driveway of a nasty neighbor who’s going to be away for Halloween, set yourself up with a battery-illuminated jackolantern, a bar stool, and a Freddy Kruger costume with mask, and hand these out to the kiddoes.
I bought a 4-pack months ago for my neurodivergent kid. Put one of them on my keychain… and damned if I don’t fiddle with it way more often than I ever thought I would
@haydesigner I bought a 4 pack to hit my Irk threshold a while back. One lives on my desk and has become my go-to fidget toy when I’m in telecons. And the batteries still work so it’s also good for…um…the once a decade when we have a power outage so that I can find the “good flashlight I keep in my top desk drawer magnetically attached to the front panel so I can easily find it in the dark”…It’s still a surprisingly satisfying fidget toy.
I’m assuming the fidget part works and the batteries are only for the flashlight. Which the reference site says “ It uses four button cell batteries (AG3) that are included and not replaceable. ”
@bwiderski The batteries are definitely replaceable. You have to be very careful with the screws so you don’t strip the plastic. And it might be a bit tough to get the battery stack into the compartment. But with some care, you definitely could replace them.
Took about 5 apart for diagnostics… all had corroded batteries. At least one DOA had a broken wire; moved the 4 mildly corroded batteries to another and bright as can be.
@Kidsandliz of course… plus, we’ve had a disagreement with the local elementary school, so sending ~100 of these things in seems like the appropriate thing to do

Deaf batteries seems appropriate for Halloween
If these don’t sell, they will be in IRKs for at least the next year.
@heartny
accurate.
@heartny Hey, I can paint em all with about 4,000 bottles of craft paint.
The Fidget Keychain is 2023’s Candy Corn.

you can play the worst game of dominoes with these
I stayed up late for this.
Maybe 50 for $15.00 but not 100
Do these come with a baseball mitt?
(To catch all the eggs thrown at your house after giving these out for Halloween)

I took mine apart-- the batteries were encased in plastic, suspect most are perfectly fine, but maybe the plastic is blocking the terminals
/buy 1
f’it, I’ll give some out for Halloween if they make it in time… if not, then I’ve got a bunch of garbage to sit on even longer
@caffeineguy It worked! Your order number is: wasted-sneaking-spine

Score-- Got 100pk; Had about a 30% initial failure rate…
So-- Initial after triage, 13 failures including the 5 that were left on.

@caffeineguy so who are they for? Trick or treaters (the new fidget spinner)?

@caffeineguy to get them to hate you more. Right?
