It’s natural gas as opposed to coal gas - if you heat coal in an anerobic environment, it is refined into a flammable liquid + gas. Fun little science demonstration
They used to use it for lights everywhere, and it left soot all over the walls. Silly putty was invented to clean it off of wallpapers, but then they added dye and it became silly
I don’t have a problem rebranding it as fossil gas, but the name natural wasn’t green washing. It did occur naturally, and it is a hell of a lot cleaner than what was used before
Let’s call methane and such what they are - fossil gas. The “natural” gas green-washing campaign has done enough harm as it is.

Point of order, you’re thinking of play doh, not silly putty.
You’re right, I was thinking of play dough
Silly Putty I think was an attempt to make plastic that failed and they went “well it’s kind of fun to play with, we’ll sell it as a toy?”
wikis the pedia
Rubber. It was an attempt to make synthetic rubber during WWII rationing. Found to be pretty useless but kind of a fun toy.
Haha I actually was curious how it came to be after your comment, but didn’t get around to looking it up myself. Neat
