Yeah.. These particular ones I bought at Wally World, last yr before I knew how to tie them... And I think that wing(s) is what is making it spin.. And, as luck would have it, I used to make hand made soap, and I would buy these "shrink wraps" to seal the bars in. and I still have most of a 500 pack left, and I think it I get a "wing cutter".. Or what I did was just cut it in that "tear drop shape" lie the ones that came from Wal Mart.. There are two wings, but they are stacked one on top of the other, like a fly with it's wings drawn back... Cause My foam bugs that are similar shape and size, but without the mylar wings don't seem to roll over like these do, Chuck
