For all those who never missed any Instagram stories will agree, that they came across many stories that shows people enjoying Fidget Spinner. You might’ve purchased it too.

We all know that match is a tool used to start a FIRE. The small wooden sticks that are used to start a FIRE, yeah, many uses it to light their cigarette, was invented by John Walker. The only reason he didn’t make money is because he refused to patent his invention.
Later, others copied this idea and made money.
