It's creative, it's got a sensory angle, and then you add the YouTube factor on top of it and here's where we are.

It's cheaper than a fidget spinner, so I'm all for it.

Some kids find out they like slime. More kids find out they like slime. Lots of kids like slime. Slime sells.

Kids get obsessed about things, i.e. fads. Now there's youtube which enhances and lengthens these fads, making mini-celebreties out of kids/young adults that can capitalize fast enough.

The fact I just heard about it means it’s near the end. That’s the personal trend I see with kid fads.
