Haven't I mentioned that a nail brush was in with household cleaning brushes? And I found hair dye at a perfume shop? And, um, I wear men's sandals cuz women's only go to size 7. And flour and sugar only come in bags as big as 1 kg. And cheese is not necessarily refrigerated, but is likely sitting right beside the check-out lady, who looks like she's fourteen. Maybe. Eggs aren't refrigerated either and are hiding in a bin beside the sweets. Milk is available powdered or in the UHT packs, but not cartons in the refrigerated section. Tampons come in boxes of 8 or 16. Talcum powder is in the baby aisle (although this one does make sense.) Dental floss is behind the pharmaceutical counter, along with vitamin C (100 mg tablets only) and other vitamins. All medicines, even aspirin, are controlled by the pharmacist, but prescriptions are not necessary, not even for that loopy pain killer you told me to get. Pharmacists frequently prescribe medication, including how much to take, how often to take it, and for how long.
So. Why WOULDN'T borax be in a sporting goods store?

Gloop is a mixture of white glue, borax, and water, and, if you want, food coloring. You knead it together in a plasitc bag, and it becomes a slime-like substance fun to play with. The good thing is, it has soap right in it, so it cleans up easily. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Um, where's the soap? Oh, the borax! Got it! Huh, that sounds good, oddly enough. I'll have to make some to play with. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

I've never added water, also we called it Goop and usually left it white then colored it with markers, Gloop was the Corn Starch and water one that resists gravity, very fun if you make enough for a kiddy swimming pool, and jump in from chairs.

Oh, I looked at my directions, we didn't use Borax (though it was listed as an option), we used Liquid Laundry Starch.
