Silly Putty came in a plastic egg.
Dutch caps came in a men's room vending machine.

Ever stop and think that silly putty was the old school screen cap?

Instead of right click and "Save Picture As" we got to:
A) Go to Stadtmuller's Candy Store around the corner
B) Stare at the 84 GABILLION candies Mrs. Stadtmuller had
C) Resolve ourselves to BUY that damn silly putty
D) Go home, dodging the Brewer clan on the corner (psycho kids even back then)
E) Play handball with Sal the barber for a little bit
F) Go back in the house
G) Wait for Dad to be finished with The Long Island Press
H) Open the LI Press to the comics page
I) Plaster Silly Putty all over the place
J) Peel it up and
K) VOILA!!
L) 1960s Screen Captures!!!

We Brits couldn't handle the egg-shape container here - we would only try to boil it for breakfast. No ours definitely came in a half-spherical container with a flat lid, and it was called 'potty putty' in the UK. Also think you may have been going through the wrong door, Brucie baby

- those Dutch Cap thingies were/are definitely a woman's contraption this side of the pond...

Well, no wonder they won't renew my visa.
