Yes, I remember it at parties. Do they not still use it? Or, perhaps we don't go to those fun parties anymore.😄

Do we mean Silly String?

That stringy stuff squirted from an aerosol ?

No not silly string, it was crazy foam. We kids played with it in the bath.

I feel like I was told that someone had shaving foam that didn't work so sold it off as a kids plaything. However I suspect it was just an adult guessing.

Barsel

I thought there was foam as well.

No, not silly string.

It was a very colourful foam you used in the bath. It floated on the water, could be moulded in to shapes, it bounced. Then you used it to wash your hair and body. It did dissolve eventually.

It came in green, blue, pink if I remember correctly

I remember it came in a squirty can with a cartoon character's head on top.

You had to break a tab out to get your finger in and press the button. This left a rough edge on the plastic which was quite painful to my young fingers.

I remember my can was Huckleberry Hound.

I think my brother had Yogi Bear.
