Filed under What Present To Buy For Someone Who Loves A Good Water Fight
When I was little, we used to spend the summer holidays outside and some of the best memories I have are of the water fights that took place on our street.
Squeezy bottles were saved up and we'd run around, get soaked and love it. Only the posh kids had water pistols and they were so rubbish anyway that you'd choose an old washing-up liquid bottle anyday.
I've noticed that in recent years something of an arms race has been developing among the neighbourhood's kids. Pump action guns have become the new standard and squeezy bottles stand no chance (even if not properly washed out!).
But they are in for a shock this Summer though if they run into someone touting this baby. The rapid fire Super Soaker.
This water gun doesn't shoot puny jets of water. It soaks the enemy. It holds 1.1litres of water and shoots it up to a distance of 7.6m. Not since we got the garden hose out have we seen such a devastating soaking!
Make sure your child is the driest on the street - get your Super Soaker online for £11.99. click here for more details
