I’m not going to start the article with the “mum said not to play with your food” line. It’s been done so many times… And we’re adults (more or less), so we can decide for ourselves.
Truth is, playing with the food is fun - if you do it right, that is. The Condiment Gun is here to help. The principle is extremely simple: you load the cartridge with ketchup or mayo or mustard or whatever strikes your fancy, point it at the food and shoot. You probably need a little skill if you want to do it from a distance… but hey, it makes for a fun barbecue! (especially if there’s a pool or at least a river nearby)

“Guns don’t kill people…” and all that? This gun couldn’t kill anyone - but it could brighten up someone’s day.
The Glitter Gun is not lethal - it only shoots confetti. But you might find your get-togethers would be dead without it.. Ok, I’m exagerating, but (speaking as someone who’s never seen proper confetti falling on her) I think some glitter can make a party much more fun than anything. This toy is cheap, get more and try to reenact a shoot-out like in the westerns! It might be too bulky to draw like Billy the Kid, but the “bullets” are cooler.

I suppose virtually everyone has played some sort of game in school (and I don’t mean board games). In my case, there was coin football and water guns, but I know that if we had discovered the Mini Rubber Band Artillery back then we would’ve had a blast.
You can shoot rubber bands with your hand, of course, but it’s just cooler to have a special gun for it. At least it makes it easier to stage wars. Tip: if you get two or more guns, you can connect them and, when you turn a crank, they all fire. Your enemies will cower in fear! (or retaliate, in which case… sucks to be you, I guess.) Also suitable for offices - play with your friends or torture annoying co-workers.
