In this surprisingly fun and nostalgic episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast, we dive deep into the squishy, colorful legacy of Play-Doh—one of the most beloved toys of all time. But did you know it started as a wallpaper cleaner? That’s right—what began as a humble compound for scrubbing soot off walls turned into a multi-billion-dollar playtime sensation that’s inspired generations of creativity. We explore its strange industrial roots, the accidental genius that turned it into a household name, and how a pivot in purpose during a time of change became a blueprint for business reinvention. This episode is part quirky history lesson, part entrepreneurial goldmine—showing how innovation and adaptability can turn even the weirdest product into a cultural phenomenon. Whether you're a nostalgic 80s kid or a modern-day maker, this episode will leave you inspired by the power of thinking outside the (Play-Doh) can.
