He created it because he was sick and he needed an easier way 2 drink water other than from a cup

This isn't in any site or books I've read- he invented the idea for the Super Soaker one day on accident in his kitchen. He was playing with a pump he had recently made for an aircraft air conditioner. (He was in the Air Force) When he hooked the pump up to his kitchen sink to see jow powerful it was, it shot across the room at high spped and hit the curtains hard enough to shake them.

When he made an easier-to-use version for his daughter, the neighborhood went wild, and after putting out the patent, he began to mass manufacture the toy to the public.
