I remember seeing something called a Salad Shooter advertised on television back in the days when I had a television (10+ years ago) but I don't remember any of the details.

Did anybody own one? (A Salad Shooter, that is. Not a television.)

If so, whatever in the world for?

Did it work?

What was it about a salad that you found to be so dangerous that you would need to shoot it?
