They must have sold them more often back in the early 60's? When I was a
kid (elementary school), pea-shooters were popular with us fellows. It was
just a large diameter plastic straw that came with a supply of "ammo." We
used to get more ammo from the grocery store...one pound bags of nice round
tan peas.

I've also wondered about that because I never see them in the grocery store
anymore.
