The uses of Silly String are as unlimited as one's imagination. The stuff was created as a party novelty alternative to confetti in 1972: easy to use, easy to clean up.
However, many adopted other ingenious uses of Silly String, used in slumber party sleep-overs, weddings, football jamobrees..etc...etc.
One "war mom" in New Jersey recently shipped 80,000 cans of Silly String for troop use in detecting explosive trap trip wires ahead of troop movement paths; a rather bright idea.
A private shipping business donated their services to move the cans to Iraq--after the U.S. Military waffled over a year to.
This ingenious "war mom" could NOT get any U.S. Military help shipping these cans of Silly String to Iraq soldiers....and if President Bush didn't know of this mom's struggle, then he really IS clueless of what's going on around him.
