We used to get them in boxes of breakfast cereal. Yeah. I don't recall whether it came in the cereal box or if I sent a quarter offf somewhere with a boxtop. I sent off a quarter. And it was a "frogman.' Never saw a sub. It was good for a month waiting for the mail, and then 5 minutes of watching it go up and down. Money would have been better spent on a squirt gun. Did anything you got for 2 box tops and a quarter really live up to the expectations? The rubber band shooting handgun I got when I was 9 did. It was a semi-automatic. We built those with a wood frame and a clothespin. |

The rubber band shooting handgun I got when I was 9 did. It was a semi-automatic. Yup we had them but it was old news. I still have an old book I found in a book store in the 50s called "101 things a boy can make" and that gun was one of them, made from wood, not plastic. I had an old table top jig saw my grandfather gave me and I was banging them out. Rubber band guns weren't accurate enough. I was a pro 2-handed shooter, hitting flies when they lit from across the room. Had consistent rubber bands, from my paper route. 75 cents a box. Probably +500. |
