ORIGINAL SUPER SOAKERS ARE COMING BACK!

Hasbro is bringing back three of the original Super Soakers with that initial air-pressure system!! They were invented by accident in 1982 by NASA engineer Lonnie Johnson and were HUGE! Sounds like they’ll be available at Target this spring. Here’s an awesome look into their invention from an awesome Oral History of the Super Soaker we found:
