ABOUT SLIME...{WHEN, HOW IT WAS INVENTED}
HISTORY OF SLIME
Slime was invented by Mattel Toys in 1976. While creating slime, the toy company wanted the oozing substance to be gross as possible. Thus, slime was first created as a light green material that you could find in a little green trash can. The trash can toy was sealed with a lid to keep the slime fresh and ready for use. Children all around the U.S. loved this oozing slime.
Mattel saw slime as a huge hit and continued to develop the toy until 1990. The goal was to make the slime just as gross as the first time. Thus, Mattel decided to place fake worms or eyeballs inside the green slime. It was the dream for kids who enjoyed pulling pranks. After making the grossest slime Mattel could think of, the company then developed a board game called “The Slime Monster”. This was based on trying not to get your piece slimed on if you lost.
Once other toy companies saw the popularity of this game rise, slime became the new toy focus. Kenner toys were one of the first companies to jump on the slime train. Kenner developed two board games that derived from the 1984 Ghost Busters film but used slime for the monsters. The company saw how popular the slime was and created more Ghostbuster toys with slime.
Other popular media entities, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Nickelodeon, developed their own forms of slime. Slime slowly began to decline after these organizations and companies stopped creating more oozing material. However, today, slime has picked up its popularity again. Today, you can make slime any way you want! It doesn’t have to be gross, but if you want it gross you can do that as well!

SLIME SCIENCE
You may not know it, but science can be fun too! Slime is recognized as a Non-Newtonian fluid. This means that it is not considered a solid or a liquid. Issac Newton, a well-known scientist, revealed how liquids are affected by water and temperature. However, slime goes against this statement and, thus, is a Non-Newtonian fluid. Other toys such as Play-Doh or Silly Putty fall into this category as well.
When you combine borax and glue to make your slime, it creates a fiber-like consistency. These two ingredients bond the fun substance together. Not only does it create the bond, but forms what is known as a polymer. A polymer is defined as several smaller molecules formed into one larger molecule.
A SLIME CAN ALSO BE MADE BY MIXING A BOTTLE OF GLUE, COLOUR (UP TO YOU) AND A SOLUTION OF DETERGENT POWDER AND WATER.
MANY PEOPLE SAY SLIME IS NOT FRIENDLY AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE NOURISHMENT OF OUR HAND, BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG!
SLIME IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCT WHEN A CHILD IS 2 YEARS OLD.
SLIME IS ALSO USED FOR STRESS RELIEF.
