But this stuff is best enjoyed in bulk. The technical name of this now generic substance is Dow Corning  Dilatant Compound 3179. Five pounds of it is&#8230;. well, pretty silly. Ten pounds of the stuff is enough to transfer a whole page of comics, or to make a humungous superball, or to lighten up the dour faces in a boardroom after being parcelled out. The surprise for our family has been never ending amusement of watching a huge ball of this compound slowly melt over whatever you set it on, like the blob from outer space. Hand out some at your next  birthday party.
