Few things bring back the joy of childhood like the first few moments with a fresh ball of silly putty! Nothing reminds me I am an adult like cutting it out of my child or dog's hair.
Silly Putty! Dark matter from a time when the Japanese forced America into a rubber crisis! Silly Putty is a non-Newtonian fluid that is generally plastic, moldable, and BOUNCY, but becomes solid under rapid impacts — to the point of shattering! Hitting the putty with a hammer has long been known as a good time.
I've taken to keeping a bunch of silly putty eggs around. This 6 pack lets me be sure I can always hand some to a bored kid. The eggs come in a plastic bag, without the iconic cardboard backing shown above.
I still love lifting the sunday funnies off their newsprint with Silly Putty.
