It’s cool, not as cool as what they called it in Spain but hey, what are you gonna do?

    I used to love that stuff and would spend hours at a time having it eat my little army men. It always had a certain smell to it that was unlike anything else. After a few weeks, it would start to get thicker and dry up. I also remember when you could buy something similar in gumball machines.
