Halloween Slime Ideas
Slime was a toy product manufactured by Mattel, sold in a plastic trash can, and introduced in February 1976. It consisted of a non-toxic viscous, squishy, and oozy green or other color material made primarily from guar gum. Different variations of Slime were released over the years, including Slime containing rubber insects, eyeballs, and worms.
