What a horror story! Who wudda thunk that a marshmallow could inflict such a horrible injury? Not me. Glad you caught me with this story before I made it to the Toy Fair to pick out this years inventory. The marshmallow guns almost made it to my store last year per a customers request. Just wondering, how hard did he have to throw it to cause that kind of damage? Good gosh Dee Dee! What a horror story! Who wudda thunk that a marshmallow could inflict such a horrible injury? Not me.

I can sympathise ,My son punched me in the eye by mistake a few years ago and that was bad enough. My uncle lost his sight in one when a little boy he knew flicked a tiny paper pellet at him,with his finger. I was adamant my boy was not to have a spud gun(potato pellet shooter) when he was about 6. My husband was quite dissappointed. Ouch.

And the pvc homemade kind are usually all the rage at homeschooling conventions. I would think if you use fresh marshmallows, the scratching would be less likely, but then the tubing might get gummy. Having given Nerf ball guns with a chainsaw noise to my husband AND son one year (yeah, I know, what the heck was I thinking!), we've now graduated to real guns for Christmas gifts. I got mine early and do all of my shopping fully armed. ;-) I had Clackers when I was in school, too. (Knockers? LOL) You arent’t supposed to shoot them into people’s MOUTHS, feefifoto.

All these years, marshmallows have been masquerading as puffy soft powdery sugar softness, when they are actually eyeball pumices. Thanks for the warning. Because I don't have enough to worry about. yeah, I was heading down the chubby bunny path–but chubby bunny is to this story as “delete any key” is to Linux.

I inhaled it and back them, before the Heimlich maneuver, all anyone could think to do was grab me by the ankles, turn me upside down and shake. Shooting marshmallows into someone's mouth sounds all kinds of dangerous to me. I nearly choked to death on a marshmallow when I was about four or five.

It fires potatoes a good quarter mile. ; ) My parents have a homemade marshmallow gun…the boys only play with it there.

You never know what evil lurks in those soft little hearts.
