30 years ago, everybody had a classmate who would ate Elmer's glue. Good thing it was non-toxic.

As someone who owns several Jersey bulls, I approve of Elmer as the mascot

I've used Elmer's since the early 60's in elementary school to now where I used some yesterday in the construction of radio controlled aircraft. For my purposes it's the Best.

I remember putting it in my hands then let it dry and pull it off like skin.

[jefferykeeper]

I can remember in school class mates eating the glue paste, they said it Is tasted like massed potatoes, I never tried it.

[aaronm]

Elmer invented it, duh. It’s his glue

[DonnyHootieHoot]

Bones wanted! No squirrel bones, please! Peace!

It's Kay'-sin, not cass-een'. Sheesh. Oh, I now noticed that you pronounced it right close to the end. It's one of the two proteins found in milk, the other being whey.

I have re-discovered Elmer's I'm using it more and more instead of high tech ($$$) adhesives. Great for old shoes that have the soles separating from the uppers

My dad used something called Duco cement. Terrible stuff, solvent based, very weak bonds.

these days I think Gorilla Glues are their biggest competitor.

[dncarac]

Who? Elmer! That's how he supported Elsie al those years.

[romulfe]

Unknow in France, still we have uhu stick glue.

[douglascaskey]

I wonder how eco and kid friendly the Elmer's super glue is? 🤣

Q: Who Invented Elmer's Glue?
A: Elmer. Elmer Fudd. He's a millionaire. He owns a mansion and a yacht. And the formula for this glue...

[airtow]

Too bad there is no Borden company that’s actually related directly to the company of old. Elmers Glue is now owned by Newell, same company that owns Rubbermaid.

[TXDude]

Quite obviously, Elmer invented Elmer's Glue. 🤣

[glennso]

I thought that originally Elmers Glue was a branded product of Bordens, the company that was big in the dairy industry.

[JamesHGroffSr]

Diary companies invented glue NOT THE PETROLIUM COMPANYS

[Pushyhog]

elmer did! Butch madougans neighbor.

[samstewart]

hmmm Maybe a guy named Elmer invented Elmer's glue????

[joelaichner]

Keep your children off drugs, pay attention to them ! Go old school, sniff gas once a year, hopefully they don’t eat the glue, bummer, but special
