and Robert P. Cox, a chemist, were granted

a U.S. patent for a foamable resinous composition.

The two initially set out to create an aerosol can

that could spray an instant cast on a broken leg or arm,

but when it came to packaging their discovery,

they tested 500 different types of nozzles.

the pair set out to market their product.

Neither of them knew the first thing about selling toys,

so they made an appointment with Wham-O in California.

But, the meeting didn't go exactly as planned.

Fish and Cox sprayed the string all over the office,

including on the person they were meeting with,

Just one day later, Fish receives a telegram from Wham-O

asking him to send 24 cans for a market test.

and was later spotted by Wham-O's owners,

who themselves demanded a market test immediately.

Two weeks later, Wham-O signed a contract

to license the product now known as silly string.
