Silly Putty. It is an example of an inorganic polymer, noted for its many unusual characteristics. When pressed on comics pages or other newspaper media, the loose ink transfers to the Silly Putty, which is then able to be stretched out, a source of amusement for many children. It bounces, revealing its rubber roots, it breaks when given a sharp blow, it can flow like a liquid when it is slowly stretched, and will “melt” into a puddle over a long enough period of time.

So what happens when you drop 50 pounds of Silly Putty from the 7th floor of a building? Check out the videos of these guys doing it.
