When I was a kid throwing snowballs meant something: wet gloves, cold fingers, and poorly constructed lumps of the fluffy white stuff. Frosty fingers are a thing of the past with the Snow Chuck. With this little medieval-lookin' weapon , you really don't even have to touch snow, a luxury I never had when snowball-fighting (considering we had to walk to school uphill both ways in driving snow...wait that was my dad). The moral of the story is, if you have children, please don't take away the fun of snowball fights and buy this for them(but if you do, try coupon code "COOKNOV07" at the link provided above-I also saw these at Target the other day). Thanks to my friends at Deal News for the coupon.
