The History of Thinking Putty:

So exactly what is this stuff? Where did it come from?
During World War II, America’s supplies of natural rubber was scarce. The Japanese had occupied many areas in the South Pacific where rubber trees are found. Thinking Putty and many other silicone rubber products were developed during World War II as American industries searched for rubber substitutes that could be used in place of natural rubber tires, gaskets, and seals.

In 1936, at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, Dr. Earl Warrick began experimenting with "organosilicon" chemistry - combining silicon (think: sand, glass, computer chips) with carbon (think: you and me, charcoal, and fossil fuels).

In 1943, he left the institute to join the newly formed Dow Corning Corporation. His research was refocused – help the war effort by developing a synthetic rubber substitute. Although he failed to produce a suitable rubber before the end of the war, one result of his experiments was a Silicone Bouncing Putty (the primary ingredient in Thinking Putty).

Although it had no industrial use, he kept some around - lucky for us, as it made a nifty toy!

In the late 1990s our crazy inventor (named, funnily enough, Crazy Aaron) in the USA created a new compound based on the classic Silicone Bouncing Putty formula. Thinking Putty stretches like rubber, bounces like a ball, tears like paper, and can shatter like ceramic.
