Anger
They smell revolting, and leave this annoying residue everywhere. This feels like something your 5 year old could conjure up in the bathroom.

Leaves lots of residue on your hands. Not as fluffy as you’d expect. I probably wouldn’t purchase this again and won’t be playing w it as much as I’d thought.
Excitement
Easy to clean, stretches and good quality.Got this for my 2 kids. They love it! It stretches extremely well. Just follow the instruction that comes with the kit and the slime will work extremely well. I will be buying one more as a gift for my little nephew. Also, the seller is professional and have great customer service.
