blu tack

what is it?

fascinating stuff. How does it stay sticky forever when it’s in a big chunk but the little bits go hard and miserable after time.

Is it useful for anything other than sticking posters to your teenage bedroom wall?

blu tack!

Uhu glue - done and dusted!
Pritt stick - yesterday’s man!
Tipex - whooooo cares?!
Paperclips - not seen one for twenty years!

Yet Blu tack still survives in the 21st century.

White tack is also available, and I swear I’ve seen a green version around but that might just be dreeeeammms

The back of the pack has a handy guide - holding up a toy motorcycle while you paint it is one serving suggestion.

Had a friend at university who tried chewing some as she was out of chewing gum. Tasted horrible apparently
