Idenitfy this 'old' toy (1 Viewer)

[MarkHastings]

Does anyone remember these foam toys (from the late 70's/early 80's I believe)...They might have been Nerf, but I don't think Nerf goes back that far....They were like elongated marshmallows that you'd squeeze inbetween your fingers and they'd make a popping sound and fly across the room.

I think they later made a 'gun' that would shoot them. I see Nerf makes these new guns with Nerf 'bullets' but these were a bit different...

I know what you are talking about. I had some. But can't remember the name.

I don't know about that specific toy, but Nerf has been around since 1970:

Ah, then perhaps it was a Nerf product.

IIRC, they came in two colors - light blue and orange.

 

[Raasean Asaad]

definitely Nerf in those colors, the're still available today in those colors.

Finger Pops! If I knew how to post pictures, I'd put up some from a 1979 TV commercial for them.

Oh, p.s. Don't go searching for just "Finger Pops" because you'll get a lot of middle finger hits

EDIT: I finally found ONE photo of them! It's a guy, in a barrage of finger pops!
