 Now that my breakfast of choice is a Dunkin Donuts #1 Special, I spend most mornings feeling like I've just been pummeled about the head with a bag of sugar. You can duplicate this feeling yourself with the new "Marshmallow Blaster," an air-powered shotgun that (according to the press release) "is engineered to propel large marshmallows up to 40 feet. . . packing the extra punch you just can't get with mini marshmallows." Really, I'm not making this stuff up.
Apparently, the Blaster is the next step in an artifically sweetened arms race that started with the Marshmallow Shooter, which pumps wimpy little mini-marshmallows at your foes. In this time when America is besieged by enemies, I think it behooves all citizens to be able to defend themselves adequately from the Stay-Puft threat. The Blaster is around $24 from drugstore.com. (Thanks Alison!)

Very interesting never even knew there was a marshmellow gun our there, There should be a marshmellow olympics maybe where the skiers have to carry the guns and shoot at their opponents.

I have been making marshmallow shooters fro some time. Constructed from a few pieces of PVC pipe for under a dollar. The work well and kids love then (though parents complain of spent ammo at times). Powered by a person's breath, much like a blow-gun. Plans are available all over the internet.

I'm pretty sure ThinkGeek has had a marshmellow shooter for sale online for at least a year and a half. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/7b54/ and http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/753d/ The second one looks like the exact same gun, and has been available for eons, or something close.
