A Thread Where We Throw Ideas At The Wall To See If They Stick

Which reminds me of those toys, that arrived somewhat after my youth ended, made from a kind of gummy, slightly-gooey plastic. You threw them at the wall and they stuck, then they sort of crawled down the wall about a foot or so before falling off onto the floor. They got dirty fairly quickly and needed to be washed to renew their stickiness.

I may have made that up.

You could wash them, but I don't think they were ever as sticky as when you first bought them. I was looking at one of these in the supermarket recently.

those would be "Wacky Wall-walkers" fyi

they were awesome.

Those things were brilliant the first or second throw. After that, they got crud on them, and the chore of cleaning them outweighed the magic of seeing them walk down a wall.

My parents used to throw out my sticky things when I wasn't watching, and would never admit to it.

Were I to talk Werner Herzog into narrating an audiobook of the Bible (or perhaps a selection of the Bible's top hits) would that be a product you would consider buying?

Good god yes

what about an audiobook of Janice Dickinson's autobiography narrated by Tracy Morgan.

also yes

what about a clip-on version of a tongue stud, thus removing the need for painful piercing?

Missing the point

suitable for children!

I meant literally

Wait why do children need tongue studs again?

Today they are a luxury item, admittedly, but we could make them out of silvery-colored plastic and probably drive the price down to where kids could buy them with their allowance money.

Kids love to imitate adults and "the big kids". It's how they learn to grow up.

An unclippable swallowable sized mouth ornament for kids might be a class action case waiting to happen tbh

iirc there was a trick to reactivating the maximal adhesive properties of these things involving warm water and liquid soap.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but now that you mention it, it would probably be best to sell it over the internet, with the purchaser having to click on something that said I am 18 years old or over. Just to be safe.
