@GeneralAnubis That is a fun fact indeed, and diminishes the appeal significantly.
What I don’t understand is the existence of a marbled putty - isn’t that what you get by mixing two plain colored putties together, and then if you squish it around a bit more it becomes an ugly single-color-blend color? So by starting with it pre-marbled you’ve basically skipped the fun part of making a nice marbled blob with your choice of colors, and skipped right to “the more you touch it the uglier it gets”.
Just a few nits to pick off of the description above:
1.8oz each tin, 20.4oz total
Check your math;
12 x 1.8 should be 21.6 total,
or the total of 20.4 / 12 would be 1.7 oz each tin (unless you are trying to slide some rounding errors by us).
Stretchy fun putty can be used as a toy or for stress and therapy
Sorry, I really have no use for more stress at this time.
Non-Toxic, Do not Eat or Drink
Why not eat or drink them if they are truly non-toxic?
I mean, to each his own.
@phendrick We were unpacking some equipment at work, and there were some huge “do not eat” desiccant packs. One of the guys looked at them and said: “Wow, that would make a whole meal!”
Basically, an illegal (i.e. IP infringing), toxic, version of Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty® probably cheap because someone needs to drop their contraband. Shame on you, Meh.
Side note - Aaron Muderick, the owner of Crazy Aaron’s (the original putty people) is from my neighborhood. He stopped making putty and started making hand sanitizer when all this fun began. He employs hundreds of people with special needs and he’s also a volunteer firefighter. That’s just a good dude. I don’t own any of these putties, but if I was going to buy some, I know where I’d put my money.
@cinoclav Yeah we are neighbors as well. I stand corrected. Made by Crazy Aaron and versions marketed by Crayola which is just North of us. I do have to hand it to CA and the local distilleries for stepping up and making sure we had hand sanitizer during the worst of times lately.
@cinoclav to be clear, silly putty (made by Dow before, if I remember correctly) is the “original putty people” . Although I’m not a neighbor of Aaron, I’ve known him, indirectly, online for well over a decade or two when we were all part of a newsletter/email list “putty at vern” (again if I remember correctly lol) where we would often do group buys to meet the minimum batch size sold by Dow back in the day. They only had the original coral color and a white which we all then would often add our own pigments to color and such. I believe that’s how Aaron originally started selling but eventually developed his own “recipe” for putty and states making it himself as he grew the business. I still have a box with like 30lbs of mine from back in the day . And yet I still but from Aaron’s site and now in stores when I see them.
So for all intents and purposes this is an Asian knock off of the old favorite viscoelastic liquid silicone toy AKA Silly Putty? Wasn’t this stuff proudly produced by Crayola in the good ol’ USA at one time? smh
@mark0805@RiotDemon@sammydog01 I have no sympathies for the East Coast suckers, but I do think that the West Coast has the best time zone when it comes to Meh shopping.
But then again, I’m in flyover country and no one pays any attention to us.
Hard pass…Have you ever had to get dried slime out of carpet? I think I gave myself carpal tunnel! Meh just made 20K on SLIME. Clearly I’m in the wrong profession.
@sammydog01 Agreed. I am tempted to buy more but I shouldn’t. I am holding strong so far but we shall see. I want putty but should buy something my practical with my coupon since I already bought putty. Decisions decisions
I don’t need a $5 coupon off another order of this crap that my son and daughter-in-law is going to kill me over for this order. They should just offer to refund our money if we want. It’s like waiting on a wish order lol
@sam042 I used the coupon on a mystery drone by Propel and got 2 electric hackey sacs that are not drones nor made by Propel. Oh Meh what happened to you?
SILICONE RING WEARERS BEWARE!!!
Just got my #unfunputty today and it immediately stuck to my silicone ring and I had to wash my ring off and thus loosing some precious putty. So in short, if you play with this take your silicone ring off first.
Ok, the “bag in a tin” packaging is a pain in the ass, but DUDE, the clear putty is cool! It’s all slightly different in feel than standard silly putty… it’s more… gooey?
@jayman007 I emailed them that mine hasn’t shipped yet and got an email back basically saying it should have shipped but didn’t. Now they don’t have anymore so they are issuing a refund.
Still waiting. Left Texas,went to Indiana.
Left Indiana went to Ohio. In Ohio 10 minutes from my house. Annnnnd.
Left Ohio and went back to Indiana.
WTF. I get delays but really?
My Fun putty and my Kitty putty both showed up yesterday. They are exactly the same thing, from the same company. They are indeed a cheap knockoff of Aaron’s Thinking Putty, but it was cheap.
Aaron’s is much better quality, with more vibrant colors. And you get almost twice as much. But I’m sure the nieces and nephews will have fun with it.

I have a tub on my desk. The kids didn’t want it. It’s purple.
@sammydog01 I love purple.
@sammydog01 Does it taste purple?
@FightingMongoos @sammydog01 Purple is a fruit.
Ohh why the hell not. Been paying for vmp all these years might as well use it.
I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old. NOT TODAY SATAN!
@ihaveyoursox I have so much of this stuff on my carpet, don’t need more

Fun fact! The clear is only clear until you’ve touched it for any length of time, at which point it becomes a nasty milky yellow from hand oils.
@GeneralAnubis and if you havea cat, it’s worse.
@alacrity @GeneralAnubis To be fair, life is worse if you have a cat
@GeneralAnubis That is a fun fact indeed, and diminishes the appeal significantly.

Still, half of them seem cool!
@alacrity perhaps a story to tell about cat meets putty?
@Kidsandliz y’know that trick with silly putty & comics? it doesn’t work with cats.
@alacrity This was found out, umm, accidentally?
@alacrity @GeneralAnubis @mydrivec, what about a purple cat¿? sammydog01 loves purple!!
@alacrity @decoratedwarvet @GeneralAnubis @mydrivec Purple cats are the best cats. Dinosaurs, not so much.
these make really shitty margaritas.
aaaand really shitty coffee.
plus no Bluetooth.
@RogerWilco and they don’t waffle well at all.
@alacrity, try a 1:1 ratio of it with Clorox, or Lysol [power toilet bowl cleaner]! Great Margaritas! JSYK!
@alacrity You actually found out? I demand proof.
I first saw this as Aaron’s thinking putty. Fun stuff.
