Recipe Introduction

During WWII, General Electric tried to make a cheap substitute for rubber. A company engineer came up with a compound he called "nutty putty", but nobody know what to do with it. In 1949, Paul Hodgson saw some "nutty putty" at a party. He bought some putty, separated it into half-ounce balls, and sold it inside colored plastic eggs as Silly Putty. When it outsold every other item in his toy store, he mass produced Silly Putty as "the toy with one moving part".
