In an effort to thwart any attempt to guess what might appear on this blog...Did you know that you can buy Silly Putty in bulk? If you don't remember, Silly Putty is the super versatile, if not completely useless, clay like substance that can be formed into any number of shapes and can also miraculously copy cartoons right out of the Sunday funnies. When I was a kid, it came in a little plastic egg. It still does but know you can buy it in bulk! The stuff in now available in 5 pound bulk packs. You can also buy a case of 100 of the little plastic eggs.
For many, this may beg the question, "so what?" or the more thoughtful, "who needs that much Silly Putty?" Both are valid questions and I currently have no answers. Some of us are just mesmerized by things that come in large quantities. You know the type whose jaw drops in Sam's Club at the idea of buying 500 roles of toilet paper or a five pound bucket of dishwasher detergent.
If a little plastic egg full was fun, 5 pounds must be off the charts. This type of fun is not for the stingy like myself though. Five pounds of original goes for $76.99 and if you want the fancy new kind that changes colors, get ready to cough up $152.99. Shipping is free though!

Okay, now you're just shamelessly trying to entice somebody, anybody to reply. So I'll bite. I just want to say--this is one of those toys you put in your kid's stocking so you can play with it. Actually that's true of a lot of toys including Lincoln logs and Legos. And Barbies. And train sets.
I think that may be the appeal of Silly Putty in bulk. If you don't have kids you can't use the excuse of buying it for them. However, there is something about 5 pounds of Silly Putty that seems more adult.
