You could push the stick into the muck in the river bottom which made it come up more slowly. Dunking was definitely allowed! I had always wondered if it was wide spread or just a local game, good to know it was played in AZ.

Haha I love all of these memories that people are sharing. At first I thought an aerosol top can would be crazy hard, but the more I think about it the more fun it sounds and the more I want to try 🙂 Thanks for sharing! That’s a great question. Would be a fun/interesting research project to look into!

This was in the early 70’s. The only major rules were no dunking or pushing. Splashing others and the Dibble dabble was an art form. Cannon balls next to others going after the D.B. we’re excellent.

I wonder how far back this game goes?

Yes! I’m so glad to know someone else played! An an aerosol can top?! Wow! I wouldn’t have thought of that, but it does sound like it would make an awesome way to play. Haha, too funny about your mom though. 🙂

I played this all the time growing up in Mesa, AZ. We used the top of an aerosol can. You know the tiny little white thing? Imagine how hard that was to get! Imagine how annoyed my mother was with all her cans inoperable… Im in my late 40’s and she still complains about it! LOL!

Happy to find your take on this awesome game!

Cheryl
