water balloons

Summer ambush ammunition

Water balloons are small rubber balloons filled with water, used as playful projectiles in warm weather.

Children throw them at each other expecting them to burst on impact: The kids had a water balloon fight in the backyard.

They're associated with summer play, backyard parties, and getting soaked.
