Marshmallow Shooter Tops Gift Sales at Drugstore.com
Drugstore.com says the bestselling toy at its online store this holiday season is a sticky toy parents are sure to hate: the Marshmallow Shooter. The Marshmallow Shooter's pump-action can shoot marshmallows as far 30 feet. Some of the marshmallows are bound to land in places in your home where they won't be found for months. Drugstore.com carries an exclusive camouflage Marshmallow Shooter. Even worse is the Mashmallow Blaster which includes a powerful air compression chamber that "blasts normal-sized marshmallows over 40 feet." So who exactly is buying all these Marshmallow Shooters? Have parents lost their minds? Are youthful Aunts and Uncles giving them as gifts and then laughing at the prospect of their neices and nephews waging sticky marshmallow wars inside their siblings' homes as some kind of revenge for the sins of the past? Drugstore.com's statement did not reveal the demographics of the purchasers, but we strongly suspect that parents are not the ones purchasing all these Marshmallow Shooters. And what's worse: next year the same company is launching a marshmallow-shooting bow and arrow set (no, we're kidding) which fires marshmallows with deadly accuracy. That product will be called the "Bow N Mallow."
We have a tip for parents stuck in a post-Christmas Marshmallow War. The answer is Marshmallow Fun Company Foam Pellets. They are made specifically for the Marshmallow Shooter by the same company that makes the Marshmallow Shooter and they are not sticky. They are cheap and they might just save your home. Actually, now that we think about it, we are kind of peeved at a friend who has small children......Marshmallow Warriors, Attack!
