Want to have some drug free, alcohol free fun ... use Silly String.
On a 12 hour trip with just my daughter and myself, I packed several cans of silly string. At rest stops, I'd give her a can, and I'd have a can, and we would play "Gotcha!" It was silly, got us both moving around, and in bright spirits. Rules were set in advance:
1. Mom says when & where we play.
2. Spraying only from shoulders down.
3. Stay away from other travelers who may not want to be in the fun.
4. Clean up when done.
History of Silly String
Silly String is a flexible, brightly-colored plastic string, which is shot as a stream of liquid from an aerosol can. The string sets quickly in mid-air, allowing one to shoot a seemingly-endless strand of it. Silly String is popular for usage during weddings, birthday parties, school carnivals and other festive occasions.
Silly String was introduced in 1969 by the world renowned entrepreneur Julius Sämann, the inventor of pine-tree-shaped air fresheners for cars. It is polymer-based, likely on a polystyrene dissolved in solvent that evaporates in the air and acts as a foaming agent. The pressure in the can propels the mixture a distance of up to 10 feet.
Silly String is also occasionally sold as "webbing fluid" in Spider-Man costumes.
Soldiers' Angels is now accepting silly string for troops in Iraq and any other conflicts. You may buy and send it to: Soldiers' Angels
