Sometimes, going to the grocery store can be a pain. But going to the grocery store when you have a list of things you need, then finding that the store is out of one of those things… well, that is the absolute worst.
So, if you're a mom or know a mom, then you might have heard about the current glue shortage. It seems everyone is out looking for the same thing: Elmer's glue.
The shelves are empty at almost every store, and now people everywhere are posting online about their glue issues.
Sure, people all love to use Elmer's for some arts and crafts, but right now, the newest fad is to create an at-home concoction with all of the glue's sticky goodness.
The concoction is slime, and all you need is a little bit of glue (or a lot), borax, and some food coloring.
However, with everyone finding out about this simple and fun creation, it's becoming harder and harder to find the main ingredient.
When moms, or anyone really, go to the store expecting to see the shelves stocked with Elmer's, they find quite the opposite.
Elmer's glue is so great for any project, but now that it's become a staple in the slime craft, everyone seems to be out of luck with getting glue for any other reason, too.
And Valerie isn't the only mom! Moms and kids everywhere are taking to social media to complain about the shortage.
Clearly, they aren't at a detrimental loss, but it's becoming increasingly clear that everyone's making slime!
How are these kids going to finish their science fair projects?
Maybe they should just include the slime they're already making in their science fair entries. That could work, right?
Everyone loves the slime, moms included. Moms can use slime for DIY makeup hacks, so everyone gets to enjoy this new craze.
It does seem that Elmer's is going to have to step up its game because everyone is buying, and pretty soon, there will be none left!
So, as a warning to kids, and moms everywhere, if you need glue, you better get it fast!
Some moms are going to over five stores before they find the one bottle they need. Most are grabbing as many as they can to make the cool slime and watch their fingers go to play!
What do you think about these slimy creations? I think they look pretty intriguing.
Maybe I'll go check my local craft store…
Please SHARE this slime fad with all of your loved ones on Facebook who you think should try it out — if they can find any glue!
