I just found it amusing looking at my Monster Rocket boxes: one from the US, one from Canada. Apart from the Canadian one having both French and English wording, I was also surprised to see the measurement given differently. US packaging boasts the Monster Rocket stands over 7 feet tall whereas the Canadian packaging notes the Monster Rocket is over 2 metres tall, flying over 30m when launched.

Not really a huge finding, but amusing and interesting, at least from my standpoint. :goofy:

I've always been curious how similar items are packaged in other countries. Anyone in other parts of the world able to push up some pics of how Super Soakers are packaged for sale in their respective countries?

:cool:

That's interesting. As I've said in earlier topics, I found several Spiderman 2 Cannons in China while I was on vacation. Unlike Canadian Monster Rockets, these soakers were in American packaging, so the strategy for them didn't involve using other packaging for foriegn markets.
