## The story

The Comet Clutch could sleep for a full minute, long enough to walk the dog down the entire school hallway. Demo teams toured schoolyards doing around-the-world tricks, and every kid suddenly needed one. String burn became a common playground injury. The glowing blue model was the one everybody wanted.

## Fun fact

A spare pack of strings cost almost as much as the yo-yo itself, and every kid still bought three.
