The Slime, which we play a lot nowadays, is an English word for sticky substance, and the slender slime that we know was also the object of fear in the past.

In the 1950s, a slime was first introduced in a horror novel, which was drawn as a sticky monster. Since then, we have started to call the sticky, bizarre liquid state of life 'slime'.

And it appeared in the horror movie "Universe life blob" and attacked the village people, and this blob is also a kind of slime.

Since then, SF and horror movies have been produced in succession, and in the West, most of the slime has been portrayed as a formidable monster. On the other hand, in the Orient, it is expressed in a new way.

In a Japanese game that became popular around the world, it was popular because of the cute image with big eyes on the face of a dongle dongle, and a slime that appeared cute in our game.

It is an American toy company called 'Mattel' that made the slime that existed in movies and games as toys. I put a food additive called Gua gum sticky sticky and the board game was released by popularity.

How did the memorable toys, popularized in the 70s and 80s, fit into the new heyday? It is thanks to YouTube.
