\"Jello<\/p>\n

I remember slime back in the \u201990s when every kid\u2019s dream was to be covered in it on national television or when you had it at home and it was called GAK.<\/p>\n

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that slime has made a comeback in a big way. So big it’s even jumping to entirely different parts of the store. Forget the toy aisle and please welcome slime to the food aisle! It\u2019s 100 percent edible and from Jello Play the makers of, well, Jello.<\/p>\n

There are two versions available. There is the Monster version that is neon green and lime flavored. And, Jello managed to loop in another trend with a unicorn version that is bright pink and strawberry flavored.<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

The super fine powders are white with just the slightest tinge of green and pink and have a noticeable smell of their associated flavor. However, as the canister alludes to the creation will be neither solid nor liquid as it shifts back and forth between the two.<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

For example \u201cIts firm if you squeeze it, but it can also pour and drip like a liquid!\u201d My thoughts are similarly on different sides of the spectrum in that I was both wowed with this product but also horribly disappointed. Let inner child Leonard and current adult Leonard share more about how this went down:<\/p>\n

Inner child Leonard: \u201cOoooh, monsters and unicorns, so fun!! Look it comes with its own scoop and you just add water. WOW, this is SO EASY to make. It\u2019s turning a bright green and pretty pink, how cool!!! OMG MOM, look at THIS. It breaks apart when you pull on it, OMG!!!!!!!!! It\u2019s melting and dripping!!! Now, it\u2019s tough and firm as I\u2019m pushing on it. MOM, feel it, this is SO NEAT. OMG, WOW, SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!! And you can eat it. I can\u2019t wait to TRY IT!!!!!”<\/p>\n

(Plays with it for another hour)<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

Current adult Leonard: \u201cWow, this is incredibly messy. The powder is getting everywhere. Let\u2019s try the directions. It seems to be too thick, let\u2019s add more water. Now it\u2019s too runny, add some more powder. This is kind of more like oobleck<\/a>, that stuff they make for science experiments, rather than slime. I wish it was more translucent and slimy. Now I have to eat it when my hands have been literally all over it? Oh boy.”<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

“Yikes, this is disgusting, like pretty gross. It does have a faint lime (or strawberry) flavor, but I thought it would taste better coming from Jello. It tastes like crushed up chalk or a pastry where I hit a large pocket of nothing but unbleached flour. The sweetness of the strawberry definitely fares better than the sourness of the lime with the starchy vehicle. What do I do with it now?”<\/p>\n

(Proceeds to dispose of it in the trash can.)<\/p>\n

\"Jello<\/p>\n

I had a lot of fun with these as it\u2019s not every day you get to play with your food and even if you are not a kid the kid in you will surely get immense pleasure out of it. The execution, though, isn\u2019t 100 percent there and don\u2019t expect your guests to fill up on it as your next party\u2019s DIY dessert. <\/p>\n
