I think I speak for everyone when I say that swimming pools could use a splash of &#8230; violence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter \u201cThe Pool Punisher,\u201d an inflatable modeled after a World War II-era tank that will turn your local pool into a wet hot American warzone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its open-top design and leg holes mean it\u2019ll be pretty slow-moving, but hey, what would be more authentic than riding around a WWII tank at a truly glacial pace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Amazon, Pool Punishers feature a \u201crock solid design, engineered from ultra durable vinyl\u201d and \u201care crafted to be super tough, withstanding the most rowdy playtimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also features a water cannon powerful enough to disturb every Karen in the HOA if your heart so desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPool punisher has given me my confidence back!\u201d according to one Amazon reviewer. \u201cWhen I show up to the pool with my pool punisher everyone\u2019s jaws drop. Not because of my dad bod but because they can\u2019t believe the world of pain they are about to endure. Anyone that challenges me quickly retreats to the in-ground spa that has a max capacity of 8 and no diving. All is fair in love and war, and when the pool punisher is in play all is fair. Take no prisoners with this hydro weapon at your disposal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">World War II helmets are not included, nor is battle fatigue, but enthusiasts are welcome to wear wet socks if desiring to make the experience more realistic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Put the Pool Punisher on your summer
