Make Slime Without Borax: 5 Easy Recipes For Gooey Homemade Ooze

One of the only things I remember from watching Nickelodeon as a kid is the epic green slime. Looking back, I don't know what was so great about it, but every kid my age thought that being drenched in slime would be the coolest thing on earth. Of course, the first thing I did was beg my parents to buy me some fake slime, but I never knew I could've easily made my own at home. One of the most common ways to make slime is to combine liquid glue with water and a household chemical called borax. The photo on the left shows borax in its natural crystal form, which actually kind of reminds me of Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

For the purposes of creating slime, you can use the powdered form of borax, which easily dissolves into water and can be found online or in any grocery store. The video below shows how easy it is to do, or you can check out The King of Random's guide for more detailed instructions. Borax is an ingredient in common household cleaners and laundry detergent, and is even used in roach spray and fire retardant. It's technically perfectly safe to use, but some people may want to avoid using these types of chemicals regardless of safety, and not everyone has it lying around anyway.

It should be enough for one serving. Don’t tell the kids. Mine believe there’s none ready until hours after I turn the machine off. I’ve added chocolate chips for the girls before, but I prefer dark chocolate. Like 85% cocoa. Lindt made these super-thin wafers of it, which go just great with the vanilla ice cream. With really dark chocolate, and really rich ice cream, this little bit is really all you need. It looks so pretty, I almost felt embarrassed to eat it with my fingers. But I got over it. Come back soon to see why I really made this: An apple crisp that is so easy your kids can make it. Oh, and I’m writing this several days before it’s supposed to be published. If you’re reading it during the week it was posted I’m on vacation. So if I don’t respond to your comments right away, it’s because there’s no WiFi reception at the pool.

Publisher: ShellyBrayzer One thing we have to mention is that the name of the diet, Ice Cream Diet, can give people the wrong impression. While it allows you to eat a small portion of ice cream every day, it is still a low calorie diet. We do see how a person may think they can eat only ice cream while losing weight - not true.
