Q: Can someone tell me how this is supposed to look when you first open the tin? I’ve purchased twice and when opened, the tin was 1/2 empty.
submitted by 614steph - 7 months ago
A: That is the expected amount per container
submitted byBbfreaklord - 3 months agoA: My can was pretty much empty.
submitted bySabresCutie - 3 months agoA: Made the mistake of putting 2 putties in 1 tin & it seeped out the sides despite not looking that full. That's why they use bigger tins that look half full. It can spread when it settles.

Q: How on earth do you open the container? Everyone in my family has tried and it is impossible!
submitted by MWallace - 10 months ago
A: I had to stab it on the side with a screwdriver.
submitted bySabresCutie - 3 months agoA: This happened to me the other day too, so frustrating. I finally got it open with a small flathead that I left sticking out on one side and a pocket knife on the other to scrap away any putty I could

Q: how do you make a Swirl with the Putty
submitted by screen name - 2 years ago
A: We would recommend separating the putty into 3 equal pieces, leave one piece in the tin, the second put into the fridge and warm the third piece in your hands. When the piece in your hands turns pink, the piece in the fridge should have turned blue. Next, you will want to roll all three into similar sized log rolls (you will want to work fast as the colder color will start to warm up) then place the 3 rolls next to each other and twist them into a spiral. This should cause the 3 colors to swirl together!

I like the texture of this; I was looking for putty for hand physical therapy. However, the container is only about 1/3rd full. I thought it was a little expensive for the cost per size but when I realized the size was about a third of what they make it appear (the metal packing tin is not see through of course) I was pretty disappointed. It feels like a pretty sleazy thing for the company to do. Would not recommend, or purchase again. Also the container is difficult to get the lid back on.

dried out slime
The packaging is very poor quality. The putty was dried out and when I contacted the manufacturer, they said that's the normal texture. It's so hard, you can't even palpitate it. It was shrunken to a tiny amount. It was a gift for a child, and she was very disappointed. It's too difficult to return because it was from Santa, so it was just a waste of money and a disappointing stocking stuffer. I would not recommend at all.

Terrible purchase
Paid $9.99 for this, only to open the container to putty that is extremely hard, looks nothing like the picture and doesn’t even fill half the container. Waste of money.

Satisfying popping sounds
This is one of my favourite putties! The beads make really satisfying popping noises when you stretch the putty and the shimmery gold colour is so nice to look at. You may have to warm the putty up if you are in a cold climate or else the putty will tear but takes seconds to fix and isn't really an issue.

Fun for the fam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had no trouble with the putty drying out like other reviewers. It’s enough that my two kids and I each have a small handful to play with. Color change is super fun- we race to get to pink!

Yes, when you open it, it looks like a mess. But you just pull out the bulk of it and use it to grip/grab the rest of the putty that may be misplaced, even outside the lid. Yes, may seem small, but it’s a giant case for some reason compared to what it used to be. I haven’t encountered any of the dryness others have mentioned, and I have 10 of them over the years.

#1 putty - never disappoints!
Hands down best putty. Doesn’t dry out. Would knock off half a star for the difficult lids.

Disappointing.
Yikes. After muscling the lid off, which proved nearly impossible, we’re left with disappointment and regret 😣

Junk with barely any in there!
Junk!!!! It takes forever to open and there is probably 1/4 teaspoon of goo in the 2.1 oz container. Not worth $10 by any means. Not worth the sale price either. They need better packaging and quality control on how much putty goes in the container.

Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty has replaced slime in our house because it provides the same sensory experience as slime without the mess!! I have easily pulled chunks of this putty off of the carpet, clothes, and even hair! Highly recommend.

Good but the galaxy theme is lacking
Well I like it and all. It's certianlly feels nice to mindlessly play with and it's colour changing effect is cool to watch. But I have to say that I expected it to be darker. It doesn't look like picture on the lid and it doesn't scream inter galactic to me.

DO NOT BUY
Absolutely terrible dried up little clump. I bought two different ones and they were both awful. Walked back in and returned immediately, target didn’t seemed surprised by this. Won’t be buying crazy Aaron’s products again.

Save your money
Not worth the money, small dried up clump that didn’t do anything like the box states. Don’t waste your money.
