Silly Putty is marketed today as a toy for children, but originally created as an accident during the course of research into potential rubber substitutes for use by the United States during World War II.
No uses for it were found until the 1950s when its potential as a toy
was realized. It was only after its success as a toy that other uses were
found.
In 1961, Silly Putty went worldwide, becoming a hit in the Soviet Union, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Switzerland. Silly Putty went to the moon in 1968 with the Apollo 8 astronauts . . . but it's still made right here, in the USA.
