MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did the idea for Silly String come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did the idea for Silly String come from?

You’ve probably played with it as a kid or cleaned it up after your kids used it… Silly String. It’s such an odd product but people love it. Who was it created by and why? It’s a funny story actually…

It happened back in the 1970s when a chemist was trying to invent an instant spray on cast for the medical world. Instead… the product morphed into the toy we all know today as Silly String. You will no doubt see some at any fireworks you go to this year for 4th of July or at all the various parades in Connecticut. Just be sure to make your kids clean it all up after.
