Odd stuff.. That would be most likely marshmallows, glow sticks by the handfuls, and rolls of adding machine tape.
A full handful of glow sticks is great, but my camera doesn't pick it up well. Having a couple dozen kids ready to run find them is a plus.
Oh, one of my early cannons, a dead mouse. It's how the Mouse Musket got it's name.

An union.In my small workspace.Makes my eyes water when i think about it..
a coworker once put a paper coffee-cup over the barrel of one of my cannons and didn't realise it would fork up the ceiling like that..

Why would a union make your eyes water?

We shot an old Barbie doll down the street once. Went looking for it, found everything attached but 1 leg broke off.
also fired a loaf of bread, made a real mess as it just blew all over the place.

A drum stick fits nicely into a 1/2 PVC barrel pretty well.

Are you firing these drumsticks at drums? That should make for a nice crescendo!
The weirdest thing I've shot out of a cannon? Huh, not much spud-gunning(I tend more towards airsoft, which means limited projectiles)
But the weirdest thing was probably a spider that had crawled inside a piece of 3/4 PVC pipe. Didn't know he was in there, and I was testing it for an airsoft rocket launcher.

Hahaha. Noooooot shooting drumstick at drums.
It's was my pnoob gun using a ball valve. I shot a battery at my wall leaving a good sized divot which looked pretty cool.
