I’ve been experiencing a little bit of a heat wave lately (it’s been in the high 40s!) so it’s kinda got me thinking about summer. I mean, it’s not that much of a stretch for me to daydream about sunny skies, warm weather, and most importantly, vacation time. I remember when I was younger, summer was all about the pool. Whoever had a pool or access to one was the coolest kid around; a sprinkler was not a comparable substitute. And I don’t think my views have changed too much since then, even though I’m not much for swimming. There’s just something about hanging out around the pool on a hot day that’s so enticing.
For those of us who enjoy summer lounging and the like but are still completely immature, the Spit Wad Launcher (Convenient Gadgets & Gifts, $14.95) is perfect. Yes, the idea of shooting another person with a spitball is completely juvenile, but it’s also completely awesome. What’s the real problem with spitball shooting, besides the obvious unsanitary aspect of it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This shooter uses reusable spitballs that are soaked in water instead of spit, so it’s not so much a spitball but a waterball (although, spitball sounds so much cooler, so I’m just gonna go with it). The launcher comes with 12 reusable spitballs that fit into the launcher’s two holding chambers. You can hit a friend from up to 60 feet away, getting twice the splat without the spit. I don’t know about you, but it seems like someone improved on perfection.
By purchasing this spitball launcher, not only are you creating hours of enjoyment for yourself and/or a friend, but you’ll also be saving the environment. Don’t believe me? Just ask all those trees that aren’t being ripped up, chewed on, and spit out. You didn’t know you were such a humanitarian, did you?
4 out of 5 stars.
