Dec 19 2007Sno-Baller Makes Very Round Snowballs
Now I love a good snowball fight as much as the next 1st grader, but I don't know how I feel about the Sno-Baller. It's a molded piece of plastic that costs $9 and forms balls of snow so you don't have to use your hands. While using it may allow you to make more balls, I'll be making better balls. And it only takes one really good snowball to send you to the hospital. You know, one with a big fucking rock in the middle.

It's not fake - my wife bought my son one a couple of weeks ago. It works great! I'm not sure where she bought it, but it wasn't anywhere special - like Target or WalMart or something.

Oh and the snowballs are exactly 2 3/4" in diameter - which is the same size as a baseball.

Why don't theyjust build a robot that pegs them at the ugly kids for you while they're at it? That would be more efficient.

Correction: Almost as big as a baseball, which is 2 7/8" - 3" in diameter.

This isn't new... our family had a pair of these more than fifteen years ago.

Agreed that it's not fake OR new. My mom got one for my little brother probably about 5 years ago, but I don't think anyone has ever actually used it.

I admit that I live in Florida where it scarcely snows...ok, so it seldom snows...alright, so it never snows here...anyway, while the product is real, I must say that the snowballs look too round/perfect to in the picture. They look more like the spherical Styrofoam balls they sell in the craft section of walmart. In any case...isn't part of the fun of a snowball battle actually making the balls?
Keep in mind, I live in FL, and we are unfamiliar with snow...I hear the stuff's cold, but in any case, one day perhaps I shall take one of these snow-ball-makers and do battle against someone...one day.

WHY ARE WE MAKING OUR KIDS SO DAMN LAZY. By the time we're all in our 60's the kids running around are going to be the biggest laziest pussies you've ever seen.
