This is my entry for the Stuff On A Stick contest. And yes I know that this doesnt involve food on a stick but it involves 2 things that can shoot sticks into food!!!
I saw something like this on instructables and thats what gave me the idea. If you made the toilet paper roll balloon sling-shot comment saying "I MADE THAT" so i can give you credit.

I am going to test the strength with 2 tests for each shooter
TEST 1: Will the shooters shoot a stick into a grapefruit?
TEST 2: Will the shooters shoot a stick into a soda can?


RESULTS:
TEST 1: Both shooters easily shot skewers into a grapefruit
TEST 2: Neither could shoot into a can... maybe with different ammo?
