This slime craze at all and maybe that's because I'm not a young child or a parent but there is and there are all these stories in America of glue shortages which people are saying are rubbish but it is true that Walmarts have had to say look we have run out of glue in some of our stores and we are trying to keep up with demand as quickly as possible because kids have just started making slime all over the place.

In various places in Korea apparently they ran into trouble because they had taller racks than those of local rivals and so it was just a bit harder to reach this stuff and customers would have to get on ladders so I was like oh, maybe the average height in Korea is a bit shorter. I looked it up. Koreans are exactly the same average height as British people. It just, apparently, they slightly overshot the shelf height in Walmart.

Which was only circulated for a few months, I believe. It was just you couldn't get any change from it. Actually, funny you should mention that because I just read that in 2004, a woman in Georgia in a place called Covington tried to pick up a $1,675 tab at her local Walmart with a forged $1 million bill. A $1 million bill that had just been made. It's got the Statue of Liberty's head on it in place of where a president should be.
