The Original Nerf Ball was released in 1970, and marketed as the world’s first indoor ball. As the marketing pitch went, you could “Throw it indoors; you can’t damage lamps or break windows. You can’t hurt babies or old people.”
Ok, I agree with the first two points — breaking a lamp or window would be incredibly tough to do with the original Nerf ball. However, I find it an insult to my arm strength that they assume I couldn’t hurt a baby or an old person with a Nerf ball.
