Wait have they cut down Super Soakers? I just checked Nerf's site and they all seem so...puny to what I used to have.
This thing is iconic. So many great memories.
i had this bad boy, it was so heavy i could barely hold it when it was full.

Itching to pick this one up (friend told me about it--I think it's newish?)
you better not have been one of them fuckers who also threw eggs out of their balcony.![]()
We played with these. We used to wet random strangers all the time in Venezuela lol
Super soakers were banned in my house, my dad was gone for work often so my mom didn't want me and my brother shooting my little sister/her with it and not having dad around to play with us at least. So I never owned one. But... somehow she relented and let us have one on the condition that it cannot be brought into the house.
We got it, had fun and the next day filled it with cherry koolaid and shot my mom with it in the house. Never again was a super soaker allowed in our home.
we were wild me and my brother. I feel so bad for my mom sometimes having to deal with us. We would get bored at home a lot and like dogs do when they aren't exercised we would just cause mischief. Like once my mom came home from work and we had painted the whole outside of the house with mud and eggs
Can confirm
Getting sprayed by water causes a visceral response. If kids can't figure out how to have fun with that then all is lost.Do kids these days appreciate a simple gift like a super soaker? My nieces and nephews get so many presents that I doubt it even registers. Truly were the good old days..
That reminds me.
Why aren't Splatoon-branded super soakers a thing yet?
Not just that but opening your gift and seeing a simple super soaker. That was the best back then. Nowadays I feel like kids would want moreGetting sprayed by water causes a visceral response. If kids can't figure out how to have fun with that then all is lost.

The OG
Hah, thanks for that! That chap is awesome.
This was my weapon of choice, I wanted the big bad blue one, but my mum wouldn't buy me that one. My friend had the massive blue one and I was gutted.

Only the rich had these while us peasants were stuck with the 50This is the one I had. I also had one of the really small ones, I forget which though
Throwing buckets of water is way more effective.That reminds me.

The 50 is the AK-47 of Super Soakers. Impossible to break, easy enough for almost anyone to use.
I wish I still had my original Super Soaker. So many water wars in my neighborhood at that time. The guy who invented the guns is pretty cool:
That reminds me.
