ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
An entertainment product called “Snap Caps” or “Snappers” has been long known. Such “caps” comprise tissue paper wrapped around chips impregnated with a compound which make a “snapping” or “popping” sound when they are impacted, such as by stepping on them, or by throwing them downwardly very forcefully against a solid floor. However, they are too lightweight to pop if thrown upwardly to a ceiling, or if thrown horizontally against a surface such as a wall unless the wall is only a few feet away. In addition, such caps do not produce any visual effect, only a sound effect.
SUMMARY
The present invention makes it possible to activate such caps against a ceiling or wall from many feet away, and to produce both an audible sound as well as an accompanying visual display.
