You suck at google, apparently, as I found an answer in seconds. Via wiki, “In 2013, “Play-Doh Plus” was created. It is lighter, more pliable, and softer than regular Play-Doh.” Going by that description, it sounds like it might be more like homemade play doh than regular play doh brand play doh. ---

> [@panache45](#): > > Interesting: Facing the task of designing an “extruder,” both Darwin and Hasbro hit upon similar solutions. Pretty much what I was thinking. Apart from the human knee joint, nature generally gives us the best formed tool for a given task. ---

Nice of the Play-Dough people to put tabs on the side for attaching a strap-on device. ---

> [@bump](#): > > I don’t know if that was really the intent; if you look at it as a whole with the plunger inserted, it looks a LOT more like a syringe than a dong. Agreed. It looks at much like [this actual decorating tool](http://image.dhgate.com/albu_263244894_00-1.0x0/cake-decorators-cake-tool-cake-syringe-8.jpg) as an orange toy hammer looks like a real one. I know it doesn’t have the screw-on tips, but that’d be more pieces and might not really be that useful in regards to play-doh. > [@](#): > > To be fair, those look like they’d be total shit for decorating a pretend cake. You’d have to extrude your decoration, pick it up and manually apply it to the cake, smashing it up in the process. Also true.
