Young entrepreneur set a Guinness World Record with the most slime ever created

For every moment we believe we're doing quite well in our professional endeavors, there's a talented kid showing us we could do a lot better.

A young entrepreneur, named Madison Greenspan, and a group of exceptional young people broke the Guinness World Record for making the most amount of slime at the same time, Saturday. They produced approximately 13,820 pounds of purple slime.



According to NY 1, the kids made pounds and pounds of slime using tons of glue and liquid starch. They then poured the whole thing into a tub big enough for the little geniuses to jump in and mix it all up with tons of glitter. 

The event took place at the Javits Center in New York City with 12-year-old Madison as the head glue honcho who created her own brand of "sparkly glue" used in the mix. 

"I couldn't just have a glue company; I was competing against Elmer's and CRA-Z-Art," Madison told NY 1. "So I needed to make mine different, so we added a gallon of clear glue, which no other company has besides mine."

NY 1 reported that everything was conducted in part of the second annual Play Fair, an organization that gathers over 70 toy companies to provide children with new and exciting toys before the beginning of the holiday season. 

Not only did this event shed light on a gifted young girl, but it also aimed to bring thousand of kids the joy of playtime, thanks to Play Fair. 

Plus, if the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards ever runs out of slime, they know who to call.
