History – Google “GOO”
Google “GOO” was initially sold in a round metal tin with a lid (as shown – top right), later in a rectangular plastic container (right) and renamed Silly Putty.
We don’t know why it was re-branded Silly Putty, although rumours suggest Google wanted the name GOO for its URL Shortener.
- 2018 – Google “GOO” is no longer sold by Google in either format.
