Play-Doh originally had a very different purpose

The kids' classic wasn't invented to be a toy

Play-Doh has been a classic children바카라 게임 웹사이트s toy for so many generations that it바카라 게임 웹사이트s hard to imagine it was invented to be anything other than a fun, squishable way for kids to show off their creativity. But it turns out it was a wallpaper cleaner first. Back in the late 1920s, a man named Cleo McVicker convinced the parent company of Kutol, a failing Cincinnati soap company, to let him and his brother, Noah McVicker, try and turn the brand around, according to the Huffington Post. When they learned that executives at Kroger grocery stores were looking for a new wallpaper cleaning product to help people remove the soot their coal-burning furnaces left on their walls, the McVicker brothers invented an early version of the now-famous kid바카라 게임 웹사이트s toy. But instead of shaping it into fun designs, adults rolled the off-white dough across their dirty walls to collect soot.After Cleo McVicker바카라 게임 웹사이트s death in 1949, his son and son-in-law decided they needed to reinvent their company, since the invention of vinyl wallpaper (which could be easily cleaned with soap and water) and the growing popularity of oil and gas furnaces meant people weren바카라 게임 웹사이트t buying their wallpaper cleaner as much anymore. McVicker바카라 게임 웹사이트s son, Joseph McVicker, eventually decided to rebrand the wallpaper cleaner as a children바카라 게임 웹사이트s toy when he found out that his sister-in-law had used it at the nursery school she ran as an inexpensive material for the children to make Christmas ornaments with in the early 바카라 게임 웹사이트50s. By 1956, Kutol became Rainbow Crafts Company Inc. and started manufacturing Play-Doh as an off-white modeling compound sold in one-gallon cans. Eventually, they started selling smaller containers in the colors blue, red and yellow, and it quickly became a nationwide success. To date, Play-Doh바카라 게임 웹사이트s current parent company, Hasbro, says they have sold more than 3 billion cans of the product in 80 countries around the world. However, Play-Doh바카라 게임 웹사이트s days as a handy cleaning tool aren바카라 게임 웹사이트t completely over. Since the detergents were removed from Play-Doh when it started being marketed as a toy, you can바카라 게임 웹사이트t use it to clean your walls anymore, but there are a few other popular hacks that you can use it for, including cleaning up broken glass or getting hard-to-reach crumbs out of crevices in your car.Watch how a simple mold and some Play-Doh can be used to gain access to your phone or laptop in the related video above.
