Description
Water Weenies were basically long thick plastic balloons with a clamp at the top and a tube at the bottom. You would loosen the clamp, fill the balloon with water, tighten it again, and then turn a little knob at the bottom tube and squirt water at someone. They were cheap alternatives to water guns and came in an assortment of colors and sizes.

You used to be able to save gum wrappers (Double Bubble, I believe) and buy water weenies through the mail! I loved them and wish I could get one today.

I LOVE these things growing up in the 80's I had one my mom bought me at the Oregon State Fair, after 1-2 weeks maybe it broke so I made my own out of surgical tubing and an I.V clamp worked great and lasted a little longer being surgical tubing is thicker...

Anyone know where we can purchase these...Kids had a blast with them this weekend. I have looked all over the web without luck. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Huh, that's totally not the kind of "Water Weenie" we had. It was more of a rubber hot-dog shaped thing, a sort of long donut of gel that was hard to hang on to.

I remember making water weenies in San Carlos, CA in 1981. We used surgical hoses, knotted on one end and a half of a ballpoint pen (the clicking kind you could unscrew in the middle) inserted into the hose at the other end. To fill it, we put the pen side into a water fountain. Better than any water gun made then and now.
