00:01Hello there. You know, I've been all around this wonderful world of ours, and in all of this world, nothing
00:09else is Silly Putty. What is Silly Putty? Well, it's a real solid liquid. If you pull it so, it'll
00:19go forever, like taffy. But, if you give it a sharp tug, it'll break like a biscuit.
00:26Now, when you make Silly Putty round, and drop it, it'll bounce higher than a rubber ball. And here's something
00:35else you can do with Silly Putty. Flatten it, press a picture in your newspaper, lift it, stretch it this
00:42way, and that, and you'll get something that's really funny. Always put your Silly Putty back in its egg, or
00:49it will run slowly away.
00:51You can buy Silly Putty for $1 wherever toys are sold. And remember, nothing else is Silly Putty.
