The scientists at The Olmec Rugged Rubber Company spent years perfecting their rubber formula for the ideal basketball. Drawing inspiration from modern scientists, they developed specific recipes:
​
-For the bounciest rubber, like that of a toy ball,
they mixed equal parts latex and morning glory juice.
-For the longest-lasting rubber, suitable for shoes,
they used a mix of 3 parts latex to 1 part morning glory juice.
-And for the strongest rubber, perfect for a rubber band,
no morning glory juice was added at all.
Understanding that a basketball requires a balance of bounce, durability, and strength, the scientists created three distinct batches of each type and blended them together, adding their own secret ingredient to craft the perfect basketball.
