Celebrating Play-Doh!

Posted: 10/19/06 at 5:15pm

Please note the subversive placement of the elephant and the peace sign.

Hard to believe, but Play-Doh, (that IS the correct spelling for those who care about things like spelling) is celebrating its 50th birthday this year in a whole host of ways. Most interesting/scary is the perfume!

For the first time that fresh-out-of the can, eau-de-PLAY-DOH scent is available for fun, highly-creative people who seek a whimsical scent reminiscent of their childhood.

As part of our year-long celebration of the beloved modeling compound's 50th birthday, PLAY-DOH compound's distinctive aroma will be available in a limited-edition 1-ounce spray bottle. Retailers such as Perpetual Kid and Demeter will carry the Play-Doh fragrance for an approximate retail price of $19.

Why is the little blonde boy doing a "Heil"?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I have no idea what you're talking about, comrade. I mean, papa.

Wait--does the fist and the red shirt mean he's a communist or a handballing top?

I always get confused by the color codes.

There's a beret on his head, so he's obviously French...or his mother dresses him.

It's only 19 bucks an ounce for the scent, Dottie!

Play-doh was OK, but you could copy comics with Silly Putty.

I hadn't used it in years, and today we made models with it in English class. Woo!

I faintly remember salty fingers being associated with Play-doh. Take that as you will.

Are you sure that was Play-Doh brand, and not the home made kind with flour and salt and food coloring?

LOVE(ED) Play Doh! Mixing the colors was always a taboo thing. Mom swore she'd never buy it for us again. (Could have something to do with making brown dog turds and hiding them in her kitchen,though).

Thank for the memories, Mr. Namo!

PB ENT has just proven the adage that playing with Play Doh has negative affects on the brain cells.

Sad. Terribly sad.

No, jackass! We had the real stuff. My mom was too lazy to make it.

Just to be sure I looked on the website. It's mostly salt, too:

The exact ingredients of PLAY-DOH compound are proprietary, so we cannot share them with you. We can tell you that it is primarily a mixture of water, salt and flour. It does NOT contain peanuts, peanut oil, or any milk byproducts. It DOES contain wheat.

PLAY-DOH compound is non-toxic, non-irritating & non-allergenic except as noted: Children who are allergic to wheat gluten may have an allergic reaction to this product.

The kids I work with now can't use it. I think I am going to go buy some.

Yeah, definitely the real stuff.

I used to eat it...I think it often replaced lunch.

PB, I so remember wanting to mix the colors and make a veritable rainbow, but you had to commit. There was no undoing the mixture, and what if you need more of the primary colors later?
