Now try and work this one out, we loved to buy a container from Mattel, that when you opened it up was full of a green thick jelly type product called Slime. What did we do with it?
Well we took the smooth Slime out of the container and moved it around the room,on the table and across the Dog. What did it do? Nothing is the answer. The Slime hit the streets back in 1976 and was an instant school success, but after the initial shock and amusement there was not a lot you could really do with it.
The manufacturers knew this too, so they had to come up with another idea to make us buy more. They did this by making the product more specific, like Slime eyeballs and Slime insects and they even invested a Slime board game too.
“Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts mutilated monkey meat
Little birdy’s dirty feet French fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood
And me without my spoon.
