Original Nerf Ball

original nerf ball

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.
