An enduring schoolyard favourite, this (usually) green gunk could
be bought in small plastic pots from any newsagent in the Summer
of 1977.
Perfect for lobbing down the neck of your mate's new polyester
T-shirt, this PVA goo could later be bought complete with rubber
worms - 'worms in slime' or body parts - 'Satan's slime'.
Silly Putty - it stretches, it bounces, it gets fluff stuck all
over it - also gained new popularity in the wake of Slime's arrival.
Later, its cousin - Glo Putty - became even more successful, despite
many parents fearing it was radioactive and refusing to let their
children have it.
