#6: Silly Putty (Released in the 1940s)
Do you remember sticking Silly Putty to the morning newspaper as a kid, transferring the words to the sticky pink goo just for fun? Silly Putty is one of the oldest “dough” fads ever invented. This play putty was stuffed into plastic eggs during the 1940s and 1950s and sold as a fun toy to kids everywhere at Easter time.
