   Like the sound you hear when you shake of a box of LEGO bricks, the smell of Play-Doh m­odeling compound is instantly recognizable to millions of people. It reminds grown-ups of being kids, although sometimes it also reminds them of pulling children's creations out of the carpet. The scent is so memorable and floods people with such nostalgia that there's even a Play-Doh perfume in honor of the dough's 50th birthday!
   
   It all started with wallpaper cleaner. According to the lore, a preschool teacher told her brother-in-law that the modeling clay in her classroom was too hard for children to use. In 1955, he sent her a sample of his company's wallpaper cleaner -- a doughy substance that people rolled up and down their walls to remove soot deposits. It was non-toxic and easy to mold, and it was an instant hit in the classroom. Within a year, the wallpaper cleaner became Play-Doh modeling compound. It officially hit the market in 1956.
