The shell seems softer now than it was when I was a kid ... anyone know if they changed their formula? Tulane97 01:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How does it work?

This is linked from the Elenium-115 page. Why? 67.11.135.160 (talk) 01:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Price?[edit]

The discussion of the history regarding Tim Price seems completely unverifiable. If anybody can provide a reliable source for that it might be able to stay in, but claiming that a company stole somebody's idea without giving them any credit or compensation seems inappropriate if there isn't any source other than anecdotal evidence.

I absolutely agree. It doesn't seem to be professionally written, either; "brain child"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.214.93.105 (talk) 23:52, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page [1] claims this version:

Developed in the 1960s through a collaborative effort between the U.S. Army and Industrial Light and Magic, magic shell was designed to be a bulletproof camouflage coating for armored vehicles. After botched field trials in Cambodia and Syria, the delicious butterscotch coating was tried on a Swedish LVKV9 deep in the frozen Siberian tundra. One of the servicemen got some magic shell fragments on his tongue, and the rest is history!
