From the sublime to the ridiculous, from all time classics to modern marvels, here are five hot toys to help you take the heat out of summer. If the classic Super Soaker does not tickle your fancy, there is a water balloon bazooka that can send over a dozen water balloons over 500 feet through the air. For something a little more tame, there is a human powered balloon catapult with over 200 feet of range. There is wireless mayhem with a remote control pool cannon. Finally, there is overkill in the form of a military spec riot control vehicle that can blast your opponents off their feet. With so many interesting water toys out there, it was very difficult to settle on just five. Here they are, enjoy!

Talking Dog Bowl
I think Gizmodo sums up the Talking Pet Bowl the best.
Although a dog bowl that plays back a recorded message for your dog may seem like a good idea at first, it really isn’t. Sure, the “comforting your pet while you’re away” angle is nice, but what about when you’re home?
Will Fido understand that no, you’re not hiding near the dog bowl? Or will he spend hours searching your house, tearing apart your newly-purchased sheets and blankets in a costly game of hide-and-seek?
