He says “Some people think slime is a gross, green, goopy mess” but with names like “Fire & Ice,” “Sunset Ice Cream,” and “Autumn Leaves,” Julius proves otherwise. His slimes have a variety of colors, textures, and scents. They are great for relaxation, dexterity, and are enjoyable for all ages. Slime is a great gift for the holidays. His brand: “Jrlslime” sells locally, as well as online (on Etsy) to enthusiasts throughout the country.
