My mother hated booger’s. Just say the word and she would start gagging violently. Mom was a big gagger! It’s no surprise then, when I was a teen, one of my favourite past times was torturing my mother. I would put cellophane tape on the table and cover it with water. The cellophane would lift off and all that was left was the adhesive. I could then roll the adhesive into a sticky, pale yellowish-green ball. Holding it between my fore-finger and thumb, I would sit near my mother, casually get her attention and pretend I was picking my nose. Mom would freak out, gag and run. I would chase her through the house with my booger glue. Ah, good times!

I am older now and times have changed. Yes, booger glue is now free!!! Every time you get a fake credit card in your junk mail… you are receiving free booger glue! When you purchase deli meat in a plastic container… you are receiving free booger glue!

Lift the credit card off of the junk mail letter (or the paper off the deli container lid) and simply roll the glue off into a small ball.

You can chase a grandchild with fake boogers, but nowadays, I use mine more constructively. Place it behind a hanging frame and your frame will stop tilting. Use it to temporarily adhere gift cards and photos in birthday (or other) cards. Yes, they sell stuff made for this. Why pay for it when companies are mailing it to you free? Also, the one you purchase is dyed blue which eventually stains. The free booger glue is natural in colour, so no stains! It makes it easier to chase people, too. No one believes in blue boogers.
