And no, you could not. Easily at least.
Fidget spinners and poppers of the past. Gotta stim somehow no matter the time.
There are also those rubber coated metal wires and stressballs.
Edit stun > stim
I only know poppers to be a recreational drug common in the gay community.
I think the fidget toys are just called Pop Its.
There's also the older popper toy
The popper toys were great. At the same time we had these slimy sticky hands.
The predecessor to the fleshlight
Someone wanted to fill the landfills
This must not have made it to where I am because I have no idea what I'm looking at here
Semi pliable plastic tube filled with water. It was a toy of sorts.
Arcade prize for only $200 worth of tickets!
because advertising execs wanted to make money selling cheap tat to children

Had one while on vacation in Spain. Carried it around in the aquarium in Barcelona. Sat down in a room with a small rostrum. And then it burst right in my lap. It looked like I had peed my pants. I was afraid to walk around and stayed there for an hour trying to think of something I could do.
Well, I just got up and walked out. Don't think anybody noticed or cared.
