A while back Consumer Reports decided to post some pictures of the funny products that they have come across over the past 60+ years they have been rating consumer products. This one to the left takes the cake!
Sonic Blaster, 1966
The Mattel Agent Zero M Sonic Blaster 5530 fires compressed air with a deafening blast. Our measurements top out at 157 dB—above a level that can do permanent damage to the hearing of an adult. We rate the toy Not Acceptable.
You have to love the 157dB rating, remember hearing loss begins at 90dB’s! Also good thing its right next to his ears! We looked around eBay and we were able to find this model for sale but it was no operable without a trigger and a broken bladder which is what makes the toy go BOOM! I would pay top dollar to find a working one of these to scare the crap out of some geese just hanging out at a lake.
