We had this stuff I've been looking for info about it for years. We threw some up on the ceiling of our front room and it looked like a bear walked across the ceiling. Those marks were on my Moms ceiling forever.

Wham-o Super Stuff was, at best, a novelty. It was available from 1968 to 1970. Other than making messes, the fun factor wore off quickly. This, along with Superelasticbubbleplastic, was one of Wham-o's bombs. Complaints from parents included kids putting the stuff in their mouths because of the sweet scents, thus becoming a choking hazard. I have one commercial, from an episode of "Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Hour (4/12/69, CBS)." Wham-o had big hits with Hula Hoop, Frisbee and SuperBall. Afterward, something went wrong.

Like kepaulvic I used to throw it on my dads 10 foot high ceiling and it would leave clean spots. Must have been about 20 of them up there and were there forever. Rob is right, is was novelty but something I just had to have but after a short time of playing with it the fun wears off and to the trash it goes. I never forgot the stuff though but I couldn't remember it's name until I ran across some today at a yard sale so I bought it. It's an unopened package and it was 50¢. There is a Sears price tag on it for 66¢ so hey, I saved some money! I showed it to a guy at another yard sale and asked him if he remembered it. He looked at it for a little bit and said yes, vaguely, and then said "the smell". We never forget a smell and they are very attached to our memories. I looked on Ebay and an unopened package, which is what I have, went for $77.99 plus shipping!

I loved Whamo Super Stuff- it had a great texture, an odd smell which was kind of pleasant and the mixing and waiting was awesome! But I also loved Super Elastic Bubble Plastic too so what the heck

I seem to remember that you had to store it in the fridge. And yes the smell was one of a kind.

I researched Super Stuff and found that it was an oil drilling lubricant made of guar gum and borate ions,probably boric acid,according to the MSDS sheets sent with a batch I ordered from an oil drilling supply co out of Louisiana, Balmar LLC product named TX 151 it even came in the color pink!!
