Wham-O Air Blaster

History Daily

Just in case you don’t care about your hearing, then this particular toy is perfect for you! The Wham-O Air Blaster was one strong toy machine that managed to suck up a ton of air around it and blow it out in a burst strong enough to knock over something from across the room. Despite the instant success of this contraption, It didn’t take long before parents realized that it wasn’t the safest item in their kids’ hands. Lucky for the Wham-O makers, they soon released a frisbee called the Pluto Platter that was “safer” since this was just a rubber flying disk that could hit their kids straight in the face. Guess it was better than losing your hearing or knocking out a tooth?
