Hang on, let's go back to stick horses for a second, because again, how long has this museum been, or Hall of Fame been in business?

Have you seen those competitions of, where people are riding the stick horses over a competitive course where they're hopping over things and running around?

The real liquid solid for adults turned into Silly Putty for the kid inside all of us. Natural rubber was hard to get and Silly Putty was the mistake that created an empire. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Irock Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders podcast, Dave Young here alongside Stephen Simple. Stephen just whispered the name of today's topic into my ear, and it's one that I've certainly heard of. It's one that I have vast amounts of experience with as a child. We're going to find out if they're even still around because they must be, they built an empire. I think I know a little bit of the back story. It's sort of an accidental product called Silly Putty. Stephen Semple: Yes, Silly Putty. To give you an idea of how big Silly Putty is, there's been 350 million eggs sold, which would account to about 4,500 tons of Silly Putty in the world. It's in the National Toy Hall of Fame, and it's in the Smithsonian Institute. Dave Young: One of my favorite things to do with Silly Putty is probably not something that today's kids can do much with it because nobody buys newspapers anymore, but used to be able to smash the Silly Putty onto the comic strips. It would lift a little bit of the ink off, and that would be kind of fun. Stephen Semple: You could stretch it. Dave Young: Yeah. Kind of a goofy product. There's no legit purpose for it other than just to play with it in your hands. Stephen Semple: Invention of Silly Putty is disputed, actually. Some say Earl Warrick from Dow Corning, some say that was the inventor. Most including Crayola, who are now the owners of Silly Putty attribute it to James Wright at GE Labs in New Haven, Connecticut. So most say it was James Wright. So we're going to go with it being James Wright. Any case, whichever one was the inventor, it was invented in 1943 and today it's one of the best-selling toys in the world. As we're talking about, it's in the National Toy Hall of Fame, in the Smithsonian Institute. Dave Young: So 1943 puts it right in the middle of World War II, and we're fighting to stop the Axis and the Nazi powers. If I recall, if I heard a story once, it was like they were trying to invent something that was part of the war effort. Stephen Semple: Yes. In fact, that's exactly what it was. Again, just give you an idea of Peter Hodgson is the person who ran with Silly Putty and popularized it. In 1976, when he died, his estate was worth $140 million, which is probably in today's dollars 600 million. He did really well. He did really well by this. You're right. It was a year after he passed away that it was sold to Crayola. Back to GE Labs in 1941, Japan invades the rubber producing countries at the beginning of World War II creating all sorts of shortages. If you take a look at the countries that they invaded at the beginning, they were all basically countries that were the source of natural rubber because at the time, rubber came from the sap of trees, rubber was used in tires and rafts and aircraft products, and they were all made from natural rubber. That was the only rubber that was around. So basically companies like GE with the war effort were looking for a substitute. They were trying to find a substitution for natural rubber. James Wright was working on the problem, and he came up with a compound that was soft, sticky, stretchable. What made it unusual is that it can be compressed and it's a solid that can be cut, but when it's balled up, it bounces.

Let's explore some of the fascinating aspects of Barbie. 於7月21日上映的電影重新點燃了人們對這個63歲塑膠娃娃的興趣，她早已征服全球，但她受歡迎的背後有著一段複雜的歷史。讓我們來探索一些關於芭比的迷人過往。 Barbie was brought to life in 1959 by Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel, who drew inspiration from her daughter Barbara's fascination with paper dolls. Handler saw an opportunity to empower and inspire girls by introducing a three-dimensional doll that could embody limitless possibilities. 芭比於1959年由羅絲·漢德勒（Ruth Handler）創造，她是美泰兒的聯合創始人，靈感來自她女兒芭芭拉對紙娃娃的著迷。漢德勒看到了一個透過展現無限可能性的立體洋娃娃，來賦予和激勵女孩們能力的機會。 Barbie quickly became a sensational success, with 300,000 dolls sold in the first year alone. Since then, it is estimated that over a billion dolls have found their way into the hearts of children worldwide, and even adults have not been immune to her charm. With the highly anticipated Barbie movie, written by indie icons Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, and directed by Gerwig, the timeless allure of 63-year-old Barbie continues, especially with the charismatic Margot Robbie portraying her on screen. 芭比很快取得了驚人的成功，僅在第一年就售出30萬個洋娃娃。此後，估計有超過10億個洋娃娃進入世界各地的兒童心中，甚至成年人也無法抵擋她的魅力。隨著備受期待的芭比電影，由獨立電影指標諾亞·波拜克（Noah Baumbach）和葛莉塔·潔薇（Greta Gerwig）編寫，並由潔薇執導，這位63歲芭比的恆久魅力依然存在，尤其是由迷人的瑪格·羅比（Margot Robbie）在銀幕上飾演她。 Barbie's introduction coincided with the post-war era when plastic was considered a fantastic innovation. It revolutionized toymaking and earned Barbie and other plastic toys a place in the National Toy Hall of Fame's inaugural class in 1998. Unlike some of her peers, Barbie's composition involves multiple types of plastics, including PVC, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), styrenic block copolymer (SBC), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). 芭比的登場正值戰後時期，當時塑膠被視為一個奇妙的創新。這個革命性發明改變了玩具製造業，使芭比和其他塑膠玩具於1998年入選國家玩具名人堂的首批名人。與其他一些同輩不同，芭比的組成材料包括多種塑膠，包括聚氯乙烯（PVC）、乙烯醋酸乙烯（EVA）、ABS樹脂（ABS）、苯乙烯共聚物（SBC）和聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯（PBT）。 While Mattel has been secretive about its manufacturing process and materials, an article from Design Life-Cycle in 2013 highlighted several material innovations introduced in 2000. These advancements aimed to make Barbie even more appealing, with new elastomers providing a lifelike body, engineering thermoplastics enhancing her complexion, and water-based paints with potential environmental benefits for her face. 儘管美泰兒對其製造過程和材料保持神秘，但2013年的《設計生命週期》（Design Life-Cycle）的一篇文章強調了2000年引入的幾項材料創新。這些創新旨在使芭比更具吸引力，新的彈性體使她擁有逼真的身體，工程熱塑性材料使她的氣色更好，而水性顏料使她的臉對環境有潛在的益處。 In line with growing environmental consciousness, Mattel took a step forward in 2021 by launching the Barbie Loves the Ocean collection. This range includes three dolls made from recycled ocean-bound plastic waste, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability. 配合日益增長的環保意識，美泰兒在2021年推出了“芭比愛海洋”（Barbie Loves the Ocean）系列。這一系列包括三個由回收的海洋塑膠垃圾製成的洋娃娃，體現了品牌對永續性概念的承諾。 As we celebrate Barbie's global impact, it's essential to acknowledge the advancements and changes she has undergone over the years. From her origins as a plastic doll from El Segundo, CA, to her transformation into an icon that inspired generations, Barbie remains a symbol of resilience and progress. 在我們慶祝芭比帶來的全球影響力時，必須承認她多年來經歷的進步和變化。從她作為來自加州瑟袞多（El Segundo）的塑膠娃娃起源，到她搖身一變為激勵幾代人的偶像，芭比仍然是堅韌和進步的象徵。 Reference article: https://www.designnews.com/materials/barbie-original-material-girl

Social Media Sanctions by The Government   In the final hour, Rich discusses how social media platforms have to follow governmental rules in regulations on what their users should/not post regarding political views and statements.
