As you probably saw from my two weeks
of previous Halloween videos,
I get really excited about this holiday
because it’s Fall, it’s fun, and it is fashionable.
This is actually something I’ve never done before:
making slime.
I am not a slime expert, I am not a slexpert,
but I have done a lot of research
about how to make slime,
and I do think I can do it quite well.
So because it’s Halloween,
I wanted to go with a bit of a pumpkin theme.
I think pumpkins are absolutely beautiful
in color, shape, girth...
we’re not gonna put that in the video.
I’ve watched a ton of slime videos on YouTube,
and I’m convinced that they are some of the world’s best ASMR.
For anyone who doesn’t know what ASMR is,
it stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.
I made an entire video about ASMR.
It’s definitely relaxing.
But one thing I didn’t do in the video
was squish some slime.
So this Halloween, we’re making pumpkin guts slime.
And I hope you’re excited, because I’m excited.
I started out with two 4-ounce bottles of white school glue.
Non toxic is key.
Because if it’s slime, a kid might touch it.
Don’t poison your kids.
I decided to use white school glue for this recipe,
even though the version that I was following online
calls for clear school glue.
I think that you can go either route,
they produce the same results from a textural standpoint,
but from a visual standpoint,
the clear glue actually gives it
more of a transparent look,
and it turns the color of the slime
a bit more glossy and shiny,
whereas if you decide to go the white glue route,
which I went,
it actually makes the color of the slime
come out a bit more matte.
And then I mixed in four ounces of liquid starch.
What is this stuff?
It is a mixture of water and corn starch,
but it might have some oils in it and/or fragrances,
so don’t eat it.
And then I took a little bottle of orange food coloring,
and I dropped in three drops.
I picked up a fork, and I started mixing it around,
and to be honest, it wasn’t really turning into the slime
that I wanted to see.
It was very wet, very liquidy, very stringy,
and eventually, I decided, this is it, Lucie,
it’s time to roll up those sleeves,
and just go in there.
And now, you’re gonna wanna turn your volume up,
because I’m just gonna let you hear
what it sounded like.
Now it’s time for the pumpkin guts.
I bought a little, tiny personal pumpkin at the grocery store,
and I cut the top off and pulled it right off.
There were some strings and some dangly things from it,
so I took a knife and I leveled it off,
and then I put that little bit of guts
along with the rest of the guts
from the inside of the pumpkin
into a separate bowl.
And then you’ll have a beautiful bowl of pumpkin interior.
Take that pumpkin interior, and now is time
for a super-dee-duper pumpkin seed cleaning hack.
Take water and pour it right on top
of that entire gut mixture.
Once you dive your hands into that bowl
that’s filled with everything,
you’ll see that the water really helps the seeds
slip right away from the rest of the guts.
Now it’s time for the mass integration of the seeds
and the slime living in harmony.
Harmonious seed slime!
It took a little while for this process to happen successfully,
but if you put the seeds on it,
and you kind of mush them around for a little bit
and then let it sit for maybe 5 to 10 minutes,
you’ll see that the seeds will just naturally
sink right into the slime.
I played around with it a little bit,
I squished it, I stretched it,
I even put it back onto the pumpkin,
and it just completely oozed inside of there.
It was at this stage when I decided that I wanted to take
this entire slime situation to the next level.
I love carving pumpkins.
This is where things got fun.
I took a Sharpie, and I outlined two triangles
for the eyes, and then a very jagged mouth,
and then I just took a really sharp serrated knife,
and I went right in there.
And then, to make it even more defined once all the cutting was done,
I took the Sharpie back to the pumpkin,
and I outlined the eyes and the mouth.
I thought this was really cool,
because my plan was to put the slime
right into the belly of the pumpkin,
and then push it out of the mouth
almost like the pumpkin was vomiting its own guts.
Ew.
But cool.
If I got an A in the pumpkin guts slime department,
I got a D in the glow-in-the-dark edible slime department.
Here’s what I did.
I crushed up two small Vitamin B2 tablets,
mixed it with water, and then I blended it together.
I poured that mixture into a tea bag,
and I used that as a filter.
Six teaspoons of lemon flavor,
and three and a half teaspoons of soluble fiber.
People online call this slime ‘edible slime’
because there’s really nothing in it that’s not okay to eat,
but that said, I did taste it myself,
and I wouldn’t put it on the list of restaurant menu items
that I would order.
It tastes like Emergen-C.
I must have transported it back and forth
from the microwave to the mixing table
to the microwave seven or eight times,
and I swear it just never congealed.
No luck yet.
To the naked eye, my microwave looked very clean,
but I knew that this glowing yellow liquid
was probably geysering up in there
when I wasn’t looking,
so I shined my black light on the rest of my microwave,
and man, was I right.
It was a real mess in there!
But, it’s a liquid, not a slime.
I hope you liked our slime video!
Comment below if you have any other slime recipes
that you wanna share with the class here
but make sure it’s reliable.
Because if it’s not, we will hunt you down!
JK, we probably won’t be able to find you, the Internet’s a wild place.
But we’ll try!
