Lonnie Johnson’s having a good week. The former NASA engineer just won $73 million in a royalties dispute with the toymaker Hasbro for inventing the Super Soaker, the coolest toy you ever had growing up.

I know that it is not yet summer at the moment, and the mercury continues to remain at low levels, but this does not mean you cannot prepare for the coming summer with the $19.99 Nerf Super Soaker Arctic Shock Water Blaster. After all, there is nothing more shocking than shooting a blast of cold water down someone’s neck on a sweltering day, right? This unique addition to the Super Soaker family comes with a large 25-fluid-ounce capacity, where you are able to fill it up with ice, ensuring a super-chilled soak. In fact, this bad boy is capable of pumping for a freezing blast of water at targets that are as far away as 30 feet.
You will also be pleased to know that the Ice Drum plays nice with other Clip System Super Soaker blasters (sold separately, obviously) and Super Soaker Water Clips will play nice with the Arctic Shock soaker. Don’t you think that it is time to freeze your opponents into submission? Well, better freezing cold water than a stream of boiling hot one, no?
