A brand started by Parker Brothers in 1969 with a foam ball known as the Nerf Ball. After that, there were more sports products, yadda yadda. They were purchased by General Mills in the 80's, and then by Kenner Toys, and then owned by Tonka as Tonka bought Kenner, and then finally acquired by their current owners, Hasbro.

Their first foam-shooting weapon was the Air Launcher in 1976, which shot a form of rocket. Most of them fire darts, balls and missiles nowadays.

Adults are not exempt from playing with these toys.
