What is stupid sealant?
Silly Putty, one of the classic toys of modern times, was actually invented by accident. As a military tactic during the first years of World War II, the Japanese attacked a country that produced rubber to stop the production of tires, rafts, gas masks, shoes, vehicles and aircraft for the army. The US government encouraged American society to invent the synthetic substance that had similar properties to the rubber, but could be made with unlimited materials.
in 1943, James Wright, Chemist in General Electric (GE), combined with boric acid and silicone oil in a tube and created a fascinating Gob Gob. This flexible material did not fall apart and bounce off even higher than the rubber. It could also flow through slow motion, but when he struck him sharply, he penetrated small pieces. Goo also copied any press he touched. General Electric shared sealant with other chemists around the world just to find out that no one could think of practical use of the ribbons.
Although it wasn't reallyPractical, the fabric was fun. The "walnut putty", as he commonly called himself, was handed over from man to person to be dropped, stretched and shaped. Tutty could be sentenced to a sentence to stay with local curiosity unless he reached Ruth Falldle, the owner of the Block Shop Toy Store.
In 1949, Ruth Fallgatter asked Peter Hodgson, an unemployed marketing consultant to create his new toy catalog. They decided to place a fun putty in a clear case and sell it for $ 2 in the US (USD). Putty was one of the best retailers, but despite the small assets that made her, Fallgatter decided not to include the item in her next catalog.
But Peter Hodgson saw the potential of Putty as a novelty. He borrowed some money, bought rights from GE and hired university students to divide the sealant into a Small Blobs and put them in plastic eggs. Since "jumping putty" did not describeFully unusual and entertaining qualities GOO, Hodgson decided to name it "stupid tutty".
In 1950 Hodgson built his product at the International Toy Fair in New York, where he got a stupid putty supplied in the bookstore Nieman-Marcus and Doubleday. Fortunately for Hodgson, a reporter for New Yorker came across a stupid sealant of that summer. The writer fascinated a novelty and in the next three days more than 250,000 orders were introduced on a stupid sealant.
Although Silly Putty was originally a novelty for adults, the market moved to 1955 and the toy became a hit with children. Children could not only bounce, stretch and mold stupid sealant, but also could copy the pictures of the comic and then distort, bend and stretch. In 1957, during the Howdy, the stupid television advertising shows show and captain Kangaroo .
