Blu-Tac isn't pure gold

Blu-Tac is useful, but it seems to me that that particular brand lucked out. "Poster putty" is common, is marketed by several companies, and you can get it at a dollar store for, yeah, a dollar. Amazing though that when a putty was tried by Stereophile, and it happened to be Blu-Tac, then audiophiles started to pay multiples of its real world price. I see it listed in a music direct catalog for $10. On a per weight basis, that must be worth more than gold!
