Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My first mistake was letting my kids bring it with us on vacation. No actually my first mistake was buying this sparkly rubber cement that is, for some unknown reason, marketed to children. My daughter accidentally fell asleep on top of this mass of glop, and in the morning, it was stuck to her pajamas and the hotel's bed sheet. The bond was both unfortunate and, I have to admit, spectacularly impressive - it was like the goo had fused with the cloth at a subatomic level. I decided to pitch her beloved snow leopard pajamas, but I was afraid the hotel would charge the security deposit for the sheet (which was attached to my mom's credit card, long story, and I didn't want her to be charged). So after trying to scratch out the putty with my fingernails, I searched online - with my now smurf-blue stained fingers - for the best way to get this evil concoction out of cloth... Somewhere I read that rubbing alcohol takes it out (I think I read that on some website connected to the product, because it certainly wasn't written by someone actually trying to get this adorably-packaged-biohazard out of cloth). So I bought a bottle of rubbing alcohol at a Cape Cod CVS, brought it back to the room and drenched the glop with it. Incredibly it didn't have any effect! Well except that the entire hotel room smelled like I'd been knocking back Everclear while my 7 and 9 year old watched TV. In a small room, the smell was near tear-inducing. So I called the main desk and told them we'd had "an accident" and needed a new sheet. A nice guy from housekeeping came by. I wadded up the sheet so the blue wasn't obvious and handed it to him. I tried to explain that I'd used rubbing alcohol to get something out of the sheet, but he didn't speak English. He couldn't have missed the overwhelming smell of alcohol though so, in case he was considering calling child services, I showed him the bottle of rubbing alcohol - which I think he thought I was offering to him because he waved his hand in a "no thank you" motion. The hotel didn't charge me for the sheet btw... or for the spots where the putty had fused with the carpet. I managed to pick it out of the shag with my fingers, but a telltale blue stain remained. Oh and I guess I should mention - it wasn't magnetic - not at all. Unless somehow all the cloth we encountered was magnetic. My kids liked it anyway because when you press something into it you get an imprint - like, you know, you get with regular silly putty - only for significantly less money. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because I'm sure it has some unexplored scientific benefit, like bonding bulletproof cloth with silk or something.
