Whoa.
One of the few things that does not taste like chicken.
I’d rather have a Slinky
I really don’t remember it being that much fun to play with. Kinda’ boring after only a couple minutes.
Now that newspapers and the funny pages are hollow shells, silly putty has lost a lot of its luster.
It was cool to pick up images and “photoshop” them with silly putty
It is still available and still sold? Who knew?
BTW my friends wife Dr. Carolyn Sumners, Made quite a good living selecting toys for space shuttle crews to conduct serious physics experiments with in space.
She selected stuff based on physics.
They had fun while they made notes on experiments.
Ohh...Silly Putty in Space...
Holy sh*t! I just read the article!
Carolyn probably put silly putty in space!
The objective was two fold.
To relieve boredom and to conduct legitimate experiments.
This thread has potential, and not a ping in sight.

It’s tasteless gum that never loses it flavor.
Whoa.
Pretty yucky when you got hair in it.
Wait until Silly-Putty gets enmeshed in your daughter’s hair. Next to impossible to get out.
Never seen it, what is sily putty?
Fun with a super cooled liquid which was replaced by beer in college.
I want this for the new balloting system if we are going to only have silly candidates.
about 15 years ago it was almost impossible to find it in the stores. Either it was Caterpillar or Cummins that was buying it to pump at high pressure through some of their parts to clean and polish the insides and was buying up all of it being manufactured.
My best Silly Putty moment.
I was in high school and had discovered that the color of Silly Putty almost perfectly mimics flesh. So, I spent the better part of a class period fashioning a fake thumb out of the stuff, complete with “knuckle wrinkles” and a thumbnail.
I made a fist and tucked my real thumb inside my four fingers and “grafted” the silly putty thumb onto my hand, making it look like I was giving a thumbs-up.
I got a giant pair of scissors that my journalism teacher kept at one of our workstations. They were used for cutting blocks of text that came out of the typesetter so they could be placed on the layout for the newspaper.
I walked up to my teacher’s desk, with all the impulsiveness of a 16 year old, and got her attention. When she looked at me, I raised my hand with the doctored appendage, and, scissors in the other hand, proceeded to cut my thumb off right in front of her.
Of course, being so impulsive, I never gave a thought to the fact that she was eight months pregnant at the time. Fortunately, she didn’t go into labor right there, but boy, did she go ballistic.
I wasn’t allowed to use the scissors for two weeks and all Silly Putty was banned from the class for the rest of the year.
Flubber was created by accident too......
