Where did Silly Putty come from?

Silly Science
A man-eating flowering plant from the deepest, darkest jungles of the Amazon...only kidding. Silly Putty was discovered in 1943 by scientist James Wright, who was working on a synthetic rubber substitute for General Electric during World War II. While the mixture of silicone oil and boric acid was a dud as a rubber substitute, the substance did have some unique properties. Wright found that it could be molded, stretched and bounced.

How high can Silly Putty bounce?

Silly Science
Prominent physicists and basement experimenters have been pondering over this one for years. Several treatises have been written on the subject, highlighting the super bouncing properties of Silly Putty. How high it bounces depends on how high you drop it from, the surface you're bouncing off of, and the size and shape of your Silly Putty piece. Our scientists have done no conclusive testing on Silly Putty's bouncability.

Can you explain the Silly Putty mystique?

Silly Science
Well, we can try. Maybe it's because it comes in an egg (see above) or in a bunch of cool colors.

It's part of our collective consciousness, like the Slinky, the yo-yo, the 64 box of Crayola crayons, the Barbie doll, the GI Joe, the Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. Most importantly, though, even after 50 years, it's still a ton of fun.

How many colors does Silly Putty come in?

Why does Silly Putty come in an egg?

Silly Science

Others believed Peter Hodgson, the marketing mastermind behind Silly Putty did his most creative thinking over scrambled eggs and bacon. Still others say its because, well, eggs are kind of silly in their own right...

How does color-changing Silly Putty work?

Silly Science
Here's the scientific skinny on color-changing Silly Putty: "Silly Putty uses thermochromic (a big word for color change through temperature change) to change color.

When the putty is handled, body heat causes a chemical reaction that makes the thermochromic dye disappear, leaving only the base color.
