Cardboard Sprout Cannon?

Fri May 04, 2007 1:22 am

So I was cruisin the aisles at the hidden tower and saw this item:

Which I believe used to be called a "Cardboard Brussel Sprout Cannon" or something to that effect. But now it's a "Cardboard Baby Cabbage Cannon". Which made me think about firing babies out of cannons before I read it twice.

Does Neo randomly change item names often? I've never noticed any name changes before but I'm very curious as to why they can't say "Brusselsprouts" anymore. Baby Cabbage?? :roll:

It used to be "Cardboard Sprout Cannon." I have no idea why they've changed it

I noticed that a while ago too. Chocolate Baby Cabbages, White Chocolate Baby Cabbages, and Rock Baby Cabbages all used to be sprouts. I was so confused when I did an SDB search for Rock Sprouts. I knew they were there, but they wouldnt show up. Very rarely, I'll search my SDB and notice a name change. I cant think of any others off the top of my head, but I know they're there.

Baby cabbage sounds cuter. Thats all I can think of as to why they changed it.

The biggest change that comes to mind is the Hypno Helmet, but I don't recall any reasons for that change either.

Hypno Helmet was legal issues due to a copyright from some game.

But Sprouts being copyrighted? Yeah right! Perhaps its one of those "lets have our little inside jokes" things

a while back, that cannon had two sprouts, or cabbages, down at the bottom. I'm guessing they changed it for maybe not so obvious reasons.
