Lonnie, Making A Splash Again!

by Danni 2/26/2010 4:39:00 AM

Lonnie Johnson, the original creator of the Super Soaker water gun, is making a comeback for the next generation to enjoy-- the classic Super Soaker is on the market with some redesign! With its original bright neon colors, the Super Soaker 50 holds up to 25 ounces of water and shoots up to 35 feet. Unfortunately, the new design does not allow the gunslinger to rip off the water bottle for an ambush attack like it use to. Man that was the best part! Grenade attack!

Luckily, it still has its pumping mechanism powered by your own strength; no automatic shooting like the ones used today. I remember you always knew it was summer when your right arm was a little more buff then your left. I'm ordering a few for myself and for my siblings to have the ultimate showdown on Independence Day. July 4th, be there!

Just a hint to all you newbies discovering the greatness of this invention now, you don't have to wait till summer to use a Super Soaker. Just fill it with warm water and start targeting away! And yes, this is definitely on the list, "you know you grew up in the Eighties when...Super Soakers were the highlight of your summer vacation."

It says 50 feet on the box Danni, did you do some personal product testing?

I love the SS, but the first thing I always do is paint it flat black. Ninja!

I cannot see your site properly on my iPhone (I have the 3G, not 3GS). Anyway, I have put your RSS into my laptop, so thanks!
