Slime is hot again,” Summers says. “And there’s all these recipes online that have nothing to do with what we used as real slime. It started off with vanilla pudding, apple sauce, green food coloring and a little oatmeal.” Summers then goes on to shame the slime imposters of 2017: “The consistency of that was far better than the stuff that I see today.
