When life gives you lemons, make some lemonade. But when life gives you slime, you better make use of it for the most immaculate (and messy) April Fools’ joke.
The polymer toy has been upgraded to be sneakier and prettier, what with Instagram brands offering customisations and signature elements. From glitter slime and neon slime to clear options and even glow-in-the-dark slime, there really is something for every kind of a prankster.
Moreover, you can use it as a stress ball or just fidget with it when you’re feeling bored or even anxious. And we bet you didn’t know that slime can also be used to get dust and dirt out of nooks and corners, like your keyboard or even window channels.
But before you start adulting with it, use the slimy prank toy to let your inner child out for a masterful April Fools’ prank. Take a cue from Scarlett Johansson's husband Colin Jost, who slimed the actress during the 2021 MTV Movie Awards!

Already have ideas for a fun slime prank? Here are some of the best homegrown slime brands you can explore:
The Slime Space
Chennai based Avi Krishna Natesan offers hand-made scented slime. She tried out a number of permutations and combinations till she came up with her own recipe for the perfect slime toys. Her label now houses 10 variations of slime for you to choose from — clear, dough, cloud and aromatic slime, to name a few.
Every slime jar comes with some activator and instructions on how to properly take care of the slime, so it lasts for up to nine months. “The slime consistency is not sent stiff because then it won’t last long. The right consistency is when it pulls away and is slimy and yet it is slightly stiff and doesn’t stick. Each person can play with the slime according to the texture they like,” the brand revealed.

Slime it
Thirteen-year-old Jiya Dugar manages her very own slime small brand on Instagram. Not only is the slime reasonably priced but also features unique customisations. The food-themed slimes are the top-sellers.
“I remember making this French fry and burger slime which was crazy. Depicting food using slime is challenging but extremely fun,” shared Jiya.
“Slime can serve several purposes like being toys for kids, stress relievers, for pranks and even for cleaning! It is usually bought for adults who wish to relive their memories as children or even for their children to enjoy,” says the teenage entrepreneur.
