Does anyone remember Silly Putty?

Fresh new Silly Putty smelled good! When it became really old, it could become runny, prompting its disposal.

They still make it but, the new stuff isn't as good.

I had Silly Putty as a kid and loved it too. I always copied colored comics from the Sunday newspaper. Simple times then, didn't take much to entertain me.

There is a long list of things that were invented by accident. I'm sure it is full of interesting stories.

We didn’t have either one when I was growing up. I bought it for my kids tho. I remember if you didn’t put Play Doh back in the can it would dry out n crumble n make a big mess! Silly Putty was fun, my kids loved it.

I remember all the above, and let's not forget thinning out the putty to a point where you could place it over your mouth and blow a bubble with it! Such a pleasing popping sound a Silly-Putty bubble made!

I think I ate Play Doh because it tasted sweet & I've always had a terrible sweet tooth.
Good think we never had any Antifreeze in the garage.

My sisters still hold it over me that they couldn't have Play Doh because the smell of it made me nauseous. It doesn't smell bad anymore.
