# Weaponized Gamer Suds The Duck Hunt Soap Gun is for Dirty Nintendo Fans By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duck-hunt-soap-gun References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2010/08/19/duck-hunt-soap-gun/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/53870507/soap-duck-hunt-gun-replica-energy-citrus?ref=cat2_gallery_29) Show the world just how geeky you are with the Duck Hunt Soap Gun. This [bar of soap](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-x-dr-squatch) is designed after the iconic [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-radio) Light Gun that gamers in the 80s used to hunt millions upon millions of ducks. If you have never experienced the joy that is Duck Hunt for the [NES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nes-gamepad), I apologize. The Duck Hunt Soap Gun weighs a hefty twelve ounces and is an exact replica (almost) of the Nintendo Light Gun. It is never a good idea to bring guns into the shower, but I think I’ll make an exception for this soap. Let your geek flag fly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gamer-themed Personal Care Products:** Opportunity for personal care companies to brainstorm new products for nerdy fans of video games and other geeky media. - **Retro Gaming Merchandise:** Retro gaming enthusiasts could be the target market for new products that pay homage to classic video games like Duck Hunt. - **Novelty Bathing Accessories:** Companies specializing in bathroom accessories can create unusual and fun soap and bath products to stand out in the market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Personal Care:** Personal care companies have an opportunity for growth by creating unique and fun products for niche markets such as gamers and retro gaming enthusiasts. - **Gaming Merchandising:** Companies that specialize in gaming merchandise, such as shirts, mugs, and posters, could diversify their product offerings to include quirky bath products like the Duck Hunt Soap Gun. - **Bathroom Accessory:** Manufacturers specializing in bathroom accessories could analyze the market and create novel and functional bath products that cater to the needs of gamers and others interested in quirky products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Themed Soap Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-call-of-duty.md) - [Game-Inspired Hygiene Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-diamond-scrub.md) - [Gamer Body Wash Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irish-spring-nicesmelling-gaming-shower.md) - [Game-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gameinspired-soap-collection.md) - [Gamer-Approved Soap Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-minecraft.md) - [Branded Gaming Showers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-shower.md) - [Nostalgic Superhero-Inspired Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowabunga-cleanse.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Dart Blasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerf-lmtd-halo-needler.md) - [Shot-Dispensing Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-comfort-soconsole.md)
