There is still an episode of Rag Tag and Bobtail on YouTube.  It brings back some memories.

Can anyone remember the guns which fired dried peas.  Ouch, they hurt.

Peashooters - you loaded the pea and blew it out?  My brother and his friends all had those and yes they did hurt.

Did anyone have comb orchestras where you put a piece of that old fashioned hard toilet paper over a comb and hummed a tune though it?  The noise must have driven our mothers insane.

Just realised what Steve meant now...yes Pea Shooter 

Yes we made a racket with paper and comb 

Rag, Tag and Bobtail brings back fond memories too.

Not the Peashooter(although they were fun).  I remember that we all used to have like a plastic handgun.  It had a slider on the top, where you poured in the dried peas.  It was sprung loaded, and when you squeezed the trigger, the peas came out with such a force.  Goodness only knows what the Elf and Safety person would say today.

Thought for a moment that I had imagined it.  But managed to find one.
