I'm gonna use some brownie batter for the first time, but I was wondering about how to make it into slime. Do I follow the instructions on the packet and add flour and eggs, or should i just add water? I know that flour can be a bitch to get out of hair.

Also, I was recently wondering if there are any products similar to cool whip that can be bought outside the US (I'm in Ireland). Stuff that has similar consistency and won't cause a smell like whipped cream.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I always just add warm water. It makes a good slime.

Thanks a lot.

Personally I prefer the consistency of "by the book" batter mixes, following directions that usually specify eggs and a little vegetable oil along with water. Using only water or using a multiple of the specified amount of water is cheaper, though that tends to produce a substance that is less like slime and more like paint (assuming you also mix in some color or start with something colorful.) On one occasion recently, I started with red velvet cake mix, then used 8 eggs instead of the specified 2. The end result was some especially thick but still entirely dark slime that was a particularly fun finale to a sploshing marathon.

I've always worried about the potential health hazards of including the raw eggs... in my sessions there is inevitably mouth filling, licking, etc.

Anybody had any problems there?

My understanding is that, while raw eggs do carry a risk of salmonella, most chickens are vaccinated against the disease and so the chances of any one egg being infected are quite small nowadays. The official line is that you shouldn’t eat raw eggs, but plenty of people do and haven’t had any problems!

I tend to mix raw eggs and oil into my cake mix, although I haven’t tried it with just water so I can’t say for certain which I’d prefer. I haven’t actually eaten much of it, but on the few occasions that I’ve used batter, I haven’t had any health problems afterwards. Really, I think a bit of licking or mouth filling would be absolutely fine, as long as you don’t go overboard!
