RANDOM TIDBITS

Barney & Smith, makers of Crayola, own the rights to Silly Putty and produce about 500 pounds of it every day.

Silly Putty comes in 16 different colors including glow-in-the-dark, glitter, and hot fluorescent colors. There's even Silly Putty that changes color depending on the temperature of your hands.

One of the original Silly Putty eggs is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History.

In 1968 Apollo 8 astronauts used a new adhesive to fasten down tools during their voyage into weightlessness: Silly Putty.

Over 300 million eggs have been sold since its inception in 1950-enough to form a ball of Silly Putty the size of a Goodyear blimp.

In 2001 Silly Putty was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, taking its place beside such classics as G.I. Joe, Lincoln Logs, and Monopoly.
