I have a ton of silly putty, and I love it. Okay, maybe not a ton, but a lot. I never had an interest in the magnetic putty, because it would be the opposite of useful.
Silly putty is non-conductive, which means that you can put it on the end of a long stick, and retrieve that tiny screw that fell into the computer you were working on (and that is currently running), without worrying about any electric arc, or even static.
@cranky1950, @moondrake, My late betrothed absolutely LOVED Spam fritters and mushy peas. Apparently a family favourite in her home. I never acquired a taste for it and I absolutely dreaded luncheons at her parents home. Gak.
@cranky1950 After serving in the South Pacific my Dad vowed never to eat Spam again. The only times I had it were at school until I left home. Even now I’ll go on a Spam burger and Spam and eggs kick about every 3 or 4 years and never eat it otherwise. I swear McRib sandwiches are made with disguised spam.
@therealjrn “Product of Ireland” upsets me. That is clearly inferior unicorn. Maybe just horses in party hats. We all know the best unicorn meat comes from Scotland.
I have a glob of magnetic putty.
It’s about the most fun you can have… at the speed of a glacier.
It does work, but it ‘swallows’ the magnetic cube slower than a sloth on sedatives.
If the thought of sitting there for hours & staring at a blob of shit that barely does anything sounds exciting, this will thrill you.
Hey there @Leslie00 - we’re not fans of spam.
I left this thread up because I have some of this stuff that I got as a gift (I think they bought it from woot) and it is kind of fun.
I’d like to see if anyone else here has magnetic putty and what they do with it?
@thumperchick You have to give her credit for acknowledging spam.

@Thumperchick OK I was writing that response before yours showed up so I didn’t know you were on it. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

I don’t like spam, though.
@Shrdlu Can I use silly putty to get toast out of a toaster that is still running?
@medz Absolutely- be sure to film it for youtube, OK?
I like spam. Mash it and mix it up with some mayo and pickle relish and call it spam salad. Smear it on a Kaiser roll. Heart attack heaven.
@cranky1950 Slice thin with pineapple rings and brown sugar on top, broil till sugar caramelizes. Serve on rice. Attractive, cheap and yummy.

@moondrake They usta feed us that for school lunch.
@ruouttaurmind That kinda wouldn’t be my favorite either.
@f00l That’s on of your major failings. Spam is American!

I’ve never seen magnetized spam. Or magnetic putty.
I don’t think either one is real.
I have seen canned unicorn meat. It’s very real.
@therealjrn I have this in my cabinet right now, I look at it fondly when looking for something to snack on.

@simplersimon I think it must be mislabeled Leprechaun meat.
@simplersimon The dirty truth is Scottish unicorn meat comes from Northern Ireland.

@daveinwarsh Now I really need one.
