Unfortunately I remember the disgusting fucking taste.
JSinNOLA
it goes back to the 60's
xpx0c7
Wasn't that thing like ubertoxic?
YourPostIsFuckingShit
Yea they were and that’s what made them fun. The game was like Russian roulette can you play with without getting brain damage.
DragonsAreDrunk
I ate it.
think45
holy crap i'd forgotten them, sticky plastic feeling i remember. still not as big as a hubba buuba
StevenFarmer
Wasn't this banned for the chemicals it released? Or was that just the UK? Then again, we seem to ban everything except chips and football.
stainlessteelmohawk
I might in fact remember them
rusrsdude
I could never make it bigger than my head. Would waste a whole tube trying.. i am a failure. :(
YouthOnAge
I can smell still smell it too! Does anyone remember the taste from sucking on Lincoln Logs?
Ronburdandysbrother
Man i could never get that bastard to work right
irotinmyskin
yes they were discontinued because they were full of lead and toxic substances. good times
LjSebs
Ohh that smell...
Kabba
Holy shit yes. Awsome :)
magila
Yeah I remember them from the 70's
GenChaos
We just knew they were toxic but that when you're 6 years old that's cool
Reelthreat
90s? That was my favorite in the early 80s but it came in a little metal tube kind of like a super glue tube.
Trimule
Get off my lawn! I'm a 50's kid and I remember the glorious unique smell of this stuff - it may even be from the 1940's
TinyKong138
What! 90s, 80s, I remembered them in the 70s.
zathmi
Yup. We used to get those and silly putty at the five-&-dime. Right around a dollar for both.
Batchofold
90’s? I remember the smell from my days at Gettysburg... some guy with a big hat made me put it away... something about a speech
charityobrien69
What is it?
Monkofthepast
I just had some. My kid did too.
GTIBH
Absolutely , I remember while blowing balloon occasionally breathing in air from balloon, probably toxic !
iflyme
That stuff was probably at least partially responsible for the spike in autism.
ChiLLeCheeze
They probably put these in vaccines too!
LinguisticBitch
Guess I got my autism elsewhere.
FuryDivine
I'm used it's ever day an um fine.
number2commenter
Have a very special day for a very special little man!
Selfieswithdogs
That and vaccines, of course ;p

Super fantastic bubble plastic.
shimmernshine
Bubballoons
MechaMaster20
They tasted pretty good so I was told
DriftyFlea
Good old cancer bubbles
UpvotingtheHotButton
That is clearly “Super Elastic Bubble Plastic” from the 1980s, you thieving millennial bastards!

alisongrace5656
That's magic bubble stuff from the early 70s you ten years younger than me bastard!
Sawdustbunny
Yes, smells the way a well rum and diet coke tastes...
LosPer
Ol' time commercial for them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcJE2W65Rhs
CanuckleheadCan
I now have context for the commercials on Ren & Stimpy. Thank you.
LosPer
Fawin
I remember the smell more than anything.
mybrothersmario
It’s basically acetone vapor
GreaterDog
Is it just an acrylic slurry, then?
mybrothersmario
Pretty much, except with poly vinyl acetate not sure why they chose acetone since PVA dissolves in water
GreaterDog
Dries faster with a volatile solvent, I guess
IAmTheBadW01f
I don't think it actually dissolves in water, elmers glue is an emulsion (small particles suspended in a fluid) of PVA in water, maybe 1/
IAmTheBadW01f
You're thinking of the other PVA, polyvinyl alcohol, which is water soluble? 2/2
MaxReboBand
I had a friend who convinced his little brother to eat a tube of that stuff ended up in the emergency room he's never been the same since
oniaijin
@iflyme is he autistic now?
quitepossiblygettingold
Bet he still farts bubbles
puwn
SlightlyDodgy
Everytime he farts he lets out a little gas.
SpitefulRed
I think that's why it's off the market now
Metals4J
In what way?
pax3233

mybrothersmario
Yup eating PVA dissolved in acetone will mess your insides up.
IAmTheBadW01f
Honestly I'm not super worried about the PVA......which would worry you more, elmers glue or nail polish remover?
mybrothersmario
The PVA isn't the dangerous bit, I only listed it because it's the component that makes it more of a gel than a liquid.
SherMattLockSmith
As someone who is doing keto, you would be surprised the role acetone plays in the human body.
mybrothersmario
Yes, acetone is produced by the body in very, very small quantities, injecting acetone is still very dangerous
IAmTheBadW01f
Would you like a list of compounds that play important roles in the human body that you still shouldn't ingest straight? Because that 1/

DefinitelyNotAPenguinSpy

Badsequence

UAteMyRocket

EmotionallyTransparent

gatharen

gatharen
Arsenic and duct tape
AnythingMuchShorter
Every plastic ingredient to be banned from factories for worker safety within the last 20 years.
mybrothersmario

PokoOnoandtheJamJams
