50 years of Play-Doh eating fun

In 1965, U.S. Patent No. 3,167,440 was granted to Noah McVicker and Joseph McVicker for a "plastic modeling composition", (which was originally intended to be a wallpaper cleaner) now called Play-Doh. Little did they know that they had created the substance of childhood memories as well as many a childhood meal.

Play-Doh persists as one of the most well known and popular children’s "toys" with over 2 billion cans sold since its invention in 1956. FailedSuccess.com has the 50 year history of Play-Doh chronicled, and if you enjoyed the stuff during your childhood it may be worth a while. Anyone else remember the smell of it ? Excuse me, I have to go and stare off into space now.
