[AcidVlad]

Retard!!

 

[Kaito57]

FFS, Mimi...

Mimi, we've been over this. Just because glue can fix broken things, doesn't mean that eating it will fix you being broke.

 

[smackstar101]

You could have just spread it on the back of your hand and peel it off as it dried to keep yourself entertained.

 

[Hitspark]

Eating paste was another term.

Dear me I haven't heard this term in decades...

 

[DemonHide]

There's a lot I can say here... but Mimi can't say much at the moment.

In the early 2000s and late 90s there was a stereotype of there always being that one dumb kid in the group that would eat things they weren't supposed to eat. Glue being the big one. We even have insults based around them like "Glue eater" because of that cultural moment.

You'll likely see it in or referenced by movies, books, games and TV shows from that time. It was everywhere.

Yeah, I know the trope but why glue? Is american glue tasty or something? Does it have corn syrup in it like everything else?

 

[ZorexLudwin]

Her gluttony sickens me......

Kids eating glue is actually ancient because the oldest forms of paper glues were technically edible. For example a common cheap formulation was just water plus gluten from whatever the local staple grain was, and another common technique was literally just the stickiest available tree sap such as maple or sweetgum. As these are paper glues, students would encounter them in early schooling, at the stage when they are still putting weird shit in their mouths to experiment.

Le funny meme substance corn syrup wasn't invented until the 1800s.

Fill her mouth with sticky white stuff to shut her up... I'm catching on to the meta here.

"Your daughter is being put on sick leave, she keeps showing up to class with what she thinks we think is Elmer's Glue in her mouth, but the bottle is always full and her totally not-boyfriend's GPA rises for the week each time."

 

[Szaal]

So, in SEA, we literally use rice to glue things together. Especially paper.
But it's gotta be a really hot rice, fresh out from the cooker.

Don't forget 'crayon eater'
