New packaging please!
I can’t get it open!!! Please fix the packaging. The putty basically glues the tin shut and my fingers hurt so bad trying to get this thing open :(

Satisfying sound and texture
This was my first large tin purchase and I’m quite happy with it. The styrofoam balls are soft on the hands and there are satisfying crackle sounds with every stretch. I do find it more difficult to create the loud snap sounds, but it is definitely possible with some effort. Be aware that the balls escape the putty, but tend to stick and jump back in due to static cling. Even so, it is far from problematic or messy.

Won't pop!
I just got my popping putty. It doesn't pop. No matter what I do it won't make any popping sounds. Is there a trick to make it work? Also, mine doesn't have a variety of size beads in it. They are all little.

Awful packaging
The package on this is awful. It hangs and the putty leaks through the cap. The putty was half dried out and very hard to manipulate. Unable to revive with water because its silicone based.

Not even half the tin is full
My daughter loves this stuff but I agree with other posters. For $10 it’s not even a half tin full, if you aren’t going to fill even half the tin then make it half the price. I prefer this stuff over your typical slime so it’s a win

My Favorite Slime for Work
This slime is great because the little beads are very stimulating to roll around in your hands. Some of the large Styrofoam balls have split but everything still works overall. It feels like a stress ball and I like having it at my work desk.

Amazing. One of my favorites!
This might be one of my favorites. I love the noises they’re so satisfying. The colorful beads look amazing aswell. I love how the beads all ride to the top of the tin when you haven’t played with it in a while. If you like the clicky popping noises I 1000000% recommend this one

Meh
Good: The consistency of the putty is great. It’s fun to stretch and manipulate. And the crackling sounds make for a great sensory experience. Bad: The beads are made of a styrofoam type material and they break and fall out easily. It’s not a big deal to mix them back in, but it is annoying that they break (it just doesn’t look nice to have all these broken bits mixed in). I also don’t think the putty itself is very pretty in this mix. I wish it had more sparkles or color. It just kinda looks like semi-translucent vomit haha. Overall I like this putty but I think it could’ve been executed far better.

My first Crazy Aaron Purchase - Super Happy
This is a lot of fun and easy to keep nearby for use when watching TV, thinking, stressful moments, etc. I have sensitive skin and have not found it irritating or sticky. I don't find it to be "popping" similar to bubble wrap or other items where you specifically push on a spot - rather as I manipulate this putty in my hands it will make crackling sounds. That's just a nitpick, though. I would still repurchase if anything happens to this one - though I have had no issues with drying out or leaking from the container, etc.

Barely any putty
Got this as part of my daughter’s Valentine’s Day basket. To my surprise, when I opened it, it was hard and not even halfway full.

Beads fall out
There seems to not be enough putty for the beads. We like the popping sound but squeezing it doesn’t make the popping sound, only stretching it does. When you stretch it, the styrofoam beads fall out. Seems like a bit more putty to cover the abundance of beads would have been a good idea.

Hard and over half missing
I bought 2 of these in store. My kids were so excited to open them when we got home. To our disappointment, both cans were less than half full, hard, and not like we expected. We were all so excited but ending up so disappointed. I had to return them since they were unusable.

Great slime
My kids love this putty. It's a really nice texture, not sticky, and the foam pieces generally stay in when playing with it. Easy to store tin, allows the kids to play with and put it away on their own.

So not worth the money!
Extremely hard to open and unremarkable amount of putty for the price. This was such a joke for the amount of putty in the tin. I’ve coughed up more phelgm than what was in this tin!
