I even remember what happened to it one day i wanted to catch grasshoppers and couldn't find a jar and my Ker-plunk thing was see through and looked kinda like a jar so i used that. I think i was around 5 at the time since i distinctly remember taking it to Kindergarten with me to catch lady bugs in the large clover patch out back during recess.

Luckily for my parents, though, we never owned it. I only played against the other kids in after-school care.
