Two phrases derived from one song: there’s good value for you. In the interests of fair play (and to show off my scholarship), I should point out that there was an American poet by the name of James Whitcomb Riley who some people say is responsible for ‘the life of Riley’ as he wrote poems about young boys lazing around during the summer, swimming and fishing. I prefer the first explanation.

Who invented Play-Doh?

PLAY-DOH, THE POPULAR modelling clay, was invented in 1955 by brothers Joseph and Noah McVicker of Cincinnati, Ohio. Their company, Kutol Chemicals, produced a wallpaper cleaner called Cincy, but it wasn’t selling well until, one day, Joseph’s sister, a nursery school teacher, gave him an idea.

Her pupils didn’t like the standard modelling clay because it was too heavy to manipulate and mould. So, instead, she let them use Cincy wallpaper cleaner and they found it worked brilliantly.

Unfortunately, Cincy had one big drawback: it stank. So the McVickers added almond perfume to the off-white goop, giving it its distinctive scent, and took their invention to an educational convention, where a department store bought some for their toy department.

It soon became a huge seller and a big success.

If all the Play-Doh made since 1955 were extruded through the Fun Factory, it would make a ‘snake’ that would wrap around the world nearly 300 times.
