I would play with it for hours, serving up Play-Doh pizzas or creating small figurines and treating them sculpting masterpieces. Play-Doh was originally created by Noah McVicker, who worked for soap manufacturer Kutol. It was originally intended to clean coal residue from wallpaper. However, when natural gas began to replace coal as the nation's preferred heating fuel, the need for the pliable, putty-like substance dropped dramatically.
