Subject: Has Anyone Else Seen This?
There's a commercial playing on TV now for "Crazy Elastic Bubble Plastic", which I'm sure all 80sphiles will remember from their youth. However, I seem to remember it being called "Super Elastic Bubble PLastic" back then. Am I right, or are the old brain cells beginning to suffer from too many nights of 4 and 5 hours of sleep?

Haven't seen the new commercial, but "SEBP" is the way I remember it, too. BTW, do they still make "Slime"???

Yes, they still make slime and it comes in all sorts of colors including neon (pink, blue, orange,etc.), glitter, and glow-the-dark. And it's better than I remember. It stays together better and doesn't dry out so fast. It still stinks and makes a mess when left on the floor.
As for plastic bubbles, they look much better on TV than in practical use, as usual. You don't have to pay $19.95 for them either, they have them in the toy isle of most grocery and drugstores $1.98.

Yes, like most toys and such, it never quite worked as well at home as it did on the commercials. But I was overcome with a wave of nostalgia when I saw the commercial the other night. I hadn't thought of that stuff in years. Is what you can buy in the drug stores now the same thing I remember, or just a knock off?

I think it's the same. It works just as bad. So bad they couldn't raise the price until kid tv got the I wantidis to get moms to buy it with nostalgia in there hearts. I think the nostalgia came from remembering the comercials, not the product. Bye.
