In any field, find the strangest thing and then explore it.
—John Wheeler
SILLY PUTTY® WAS ACCIDENTALLY INVENTED during World War II by a scientist attempting to create synthetic rubber. Since then over 300 million plastic eggs filled with this magical substance have been sold. Recently inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, Silly Putty now comes in 12 additional colors besides the original pink, and continues to delight new generations of the young at heart.
