   I was never told it would run away. I mostly remember
   pressing onto comic strips and being fascinated by how
   it picked up the art.

   Yes, I'm old enough (actually almost....... Almost remember when it was gifted to us).

   
   Oh no, I played with it and just left it on the table more times then I can count. But I've always been a bit of a rebel.

    Yeah I clearly remember "Silly Putty" just like I remember "Slinky" and the "Hoola Hoop."

    However, I was never told by anyone that told it would run away if I didn't put it back in the egg.

    Who fed you that bull?

    My mother always told my brother and I it would run away if left out of its egg. My brother tested it and the next day his was gone. I always kept mine in egg. lol

    I don't remember any warnings about Silly Putty besides "don't get it in your hair." I seem to recall peanut butter being recommended as a remedy if that happens.

    I do remember being warned not to taunt Happy Fun Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqeZl8OI2M
