DOZENS of children got the chance to be drenched in slime yesterday.
Intu Braehead shopping centre teamed up with kids TV network Nickelodeon yesterday for a Slime Time event.
Hundreds of shoppers turned up to see the ‘slime-ulator.’
The free event also gave children the chance to doodle on a giant slime colouring wall, capture and share photos in a slime photo booth and customise their own slime.
Christine Macdonald, marketing manager at intu Braehead, said: “It was brilliant to see so many smiling faces in amongst all the slime at our fun, free and very messy experience.”
Orla Livingston, aged nine, from Renfrew was one of the first children to be slimed. She said: “I was really excited waiting for the slime to drop on my head.
“I wasn’t expecting it to happen so quickly, but when it did drop it was really cold. It was great fun and I’d love to be able to do it again.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
