What was that toxic goo in a tube you would stick on the end of a little straw...

[IndianaJones]

and blow up into a lame balloon? Can you still buy that?

[redqueen]

1. Well I don't know about now, but I got some a few years ago.

Love that stuff.

[IndianaJones]

2. is it safe? nt.

[redqueen]

4. Oh I'm sure it's not...

:)

[MorningGlow]

3. Ew, I remember that stuff

If you accidentally inhaled a little bit while you were blowing up the goo, you'd get a lungful of chemical goodness. Gah. I sure HOPE you can't still buy that. I can't imagine it's safe. Dang, the shit we used to play with as kids...makes the lead paint from China look like amateur hour.

[Deep13]

8. That stuff had to be flammable as hell.

My parents would not buy it for me.

[Hugin]

9. Yes, yes it was...

I speak from experience. :smolderingruins:

[AlCzervik]

[IndianaJones]

12. still got any? is it still available? I'll buy it. nt.

[AlCzervik]

13. i'm looking for it right now, it's somewhere in the garage.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. Jesus...

[DS1]

14. you mean the tube wasn't for holding it at a safe distance?

[Hugin]

16. The fumes alone had huffing MagicMarkers...

beat to hell. :crazy:

[gizmonic]

20. Aw, you poor kid...I'll get you some for your birthday

We'll goof around doing all of the dangerous things we didn't do as kids.

:evilgrin: :hug:

[Deep13]

21. It's not that I didn't do them...

...just that my parents did not allow it. Did I tell you about the time I made my own rocket fuel? Turns out that stuff is pretty unstable.

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. The remaining supply had been stored away in order to remove it from harming the public.

However...

[Hugin]

17. Yes, in a vast underground complex somewhere in the Nevada desert...

Right next to the nukes. :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. People go on and on about the danger of nukes

but say nothing about the danger of Super Elastic Bubble Plastic. Will someone please think of the children!

:scared:

[seemunkee]

19. A got some as a joke gift last month

That stuff is nasty smelling

[LaraMN]

22. I have some. I like how it smells.

:scared:

[deucemagnet]

23. Wham-O doesn't make it anymore,

but apparently you can still buy the same stuff under a different name.

...Other similar brands remain available in certain countries, such as the US, Malaysia, Mexico, and Germany.
