During a recent episode of Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, a game of “F, Marry, Kill” took an unexpectedly slimy twist. Conan welcomed a guest who revealed that they work as an art director at a slime company. The conversation quickly led Conan to inquire about the intriguing world of slime production.
The guest explained that their company primarily sells slime through their personal website, rather than wholesale. But this isn’t just any slime – it’s artisanal slime. Made of glue, water, and borax, slime can have a wide variety of textures depending on the ingredients used.
Intrigued by the concept of slime connoisseurs, Conan jokingly asked if there are “slime sommeliers” who can differentiate between different types of slime based on their composition. Surprisingly, the guest admitted that they have become somewhat of a slime connoisseur themselves, as they have learned through experience that different glues and additives result in distinct textures.
Curiosity got the better of Conan, leading him to question the purpose of the slime that the guest’s company produces. The guest revealed that they offer a variety of options, including DIY kits with clay toppers that resemble different food items. For example, they demonstrated a honey toast DIY kit, where slime is spread on a clay toast with a drizzle of clay syrup.
Conan couldn’t help but marvel at the creativity of making pretend food items out of clay and slime, all while stressing that nothing is actually edible. He playfully highlighted the irony of the company’s need to label their products with “do not eat” warnings.
It turns out that people of all ages, not just kids, are fascinated by slime. The guest mentioned that their customer base includes young adults and even older people who find comfort in playing with slime. Conan couldn’t resist the tactile allure of the slime, marvelling at how it flowed through his fingers.
Amid the light-hearted banter, Conan couldn’t help but probe further. He cautiously broached the topic of the possibility of people using slime for more intimate purposes. The guest, while acknowledging that they don’t make slime for those purposes, acknowledged that such activities may exist in some corners of the world. They even jokingly gave a shout-out to those involved in such pursuits, respecting their unconventional interests.
Conan wrapped up the segment by jokingly discussing his own romanticized idea of a slime-filled Valentine’s Day bath with scented candles and rose petals. The conversation left both Conan and the audience laughing, highlighting the entertaining and unexpected nature of Conan O’Brien‘s talk show.
In true Conan fashion, this segment showcased his ability to find humor in the most unlikely places. From discussing artisanal slime to exploring the realm of slime enthusiasts, Conan consistently finds a way to entertain his audience. With his trademark wit and charm, it’s no wonder Conan O’Brien‘s talk show continues to be a favorite among viewers.
