Jean Plum - Here I Go Again

A few years ago I finally came to realize that “Daylight Savings Time” is from March to November… When we set our clocks back we’re actually going back to the “normal” time. I always thought it was the other way around. 

Initially it was called the “Power Drencher” when it appeared in toy shops in 1990.

Selling between $10 to $60 depending on the model, the Super Soaker took off, generating $200 million in sales in 1991.

Shortly after making the deal for the Super Soaker with the Larami Corporation, Larami became a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc. in February 1995.

But being an inventor, Johnson came up with another idea: replacing the water in the Super Soaker with a "toy (Nerf) projectile."

In 1996, Johnson received patent US5553598 A for "Pneumatic launcher for a toy projectile and the like."

In February 2013, Johnson filed suit against Hasbro after he discovered that he was being underpaid royalties for the Super Soaker and several Nerf line of toys. 

In November 2013, Johnson was awarded nearly $73 million in royalties from Hasbro in arbitration.

According to Hasbro, the Super Soaker is approaching sales of $1 billion dollars!
