Marshmallow Fun Company Information

The award-winning Marshmallow Fun Company strongly believes that kids (and grownups) can have fun with food, especially when you can shoot marshmallows up to 40 feet at unsuspecting targets. The company’s first product -- a Marshmallow Shooter, held 25 “rounds” of mini-marshmallows, was originally designed in blue and red and sold for $24.95. In a time when many companies’ sales are down or out, Marshmallow Fun Company is actually flourishing. The company nearly doubled their sales in 2009, up to $7.5 million from $4 million in 2008. The idea for a marshmallow shooter originated in Dallas, Texas when Kim and Beaver Raymond and their son Jake were preparing for Jake’s 9th birthday party. As a party favor, Jake and Beaver spent half the night assembling marshmallow blowers for each of the 15 guests from PVC pipe. Kim came up with the idea for marshmallows to be used as safe, soft, edible ammo. Safety is extremely important. The lung-powered blower is designed so that a child can’t inhale a marshmallow from either end. The shooters won’t blast anything that can’t compress and then regain its shape, like a rock, stick or stale marshmallow, only something soft like a marshmallow. Seen on Hannah Montana, Good Morning America, Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres Show, dozens of news programs. Marshmallow Fun products can be found everywhere – at Toys “R” Us, Target and Learning Express, in catalogs like Hammacher Schlemmer.
