Allow the larger pea to be able to knockback zombies. This makes sense for the Pea Pod as the Peas it shoots when buffed with Plant Food is huge, it should be able to do something like knockback the zombies it hits. The giant pea should also be able to mow down chickens in a straight line. Right now having tiny chickens block a giant pea that's supposed to be for the regular zombies is never fun at all.

Now that I think about it, it wouldn't make sense to put knockback for the split-pea's giant Pea or else it would knock the zombie forward :/

Any ideas? Sorta undermines the Coconut Cannon's PF boost, since it does that (and eventually explodes everybody). Perhaps it could work for weaker zombies, but not for others (definitely not Gargs, and probably not Bulls either out of sheer size).

@Miles: well, they are useful for one very specific instance (under fog), and then you get the Blower that blows that off. Perhaps Invisi-Ghoul or something? I recall the small size of Plantern doesn't help that much, since you can set up a proper defense between the first four lanes, which are the ones that you can defend.

As for Pharaohs and Rollers; the latter is pretty obvious (much like Explorer and Gargantuan, it's meant to obliterate plants in one hit), but that doesn't undermine its effectiveness in any case. I concede Pharaohs, though, because those are similar in trend to Armored Ponchos. That's four out of the various zombies that CAN be affected, and the secondary gas effect is good because it slows zombies. Not-OK Corral shows how valuable a Chilli Bean can be, though. The only problem with it is the cooldown, as it's the same as the cheaper Potato Mine, and that Jalapeño blows it out of the water, but considering the latter being Premium, it makes Chilli Bean useful nonetheless. It's best used when there's a line of zombies around, if only because it takes the strongest one and it makes the others slower. So I don't see Chilli Bean as "useless" as most, particularly when you lack access to Jalapeño, Cherry Bomb or Squash.

I'd say a price adjustment for Coconut Cannons could be useful. They're great, but darn too expensive, and you only need a few more sun to get Winter Melon.
