I would add a line to the headnote: the first documented use in Amazon best-seller lists and school playgrounds is the earliest surviving one, not the first one. These things are always older than the oldest screenshot.

Death date is generous. Fidget Spinner was culturally over by 2016 — 2017 is when the last brand stopped using it, which is the burial rather than the death. The record should show the earlier year.
