Buying glue to make slime

Elmer's Glue point-of-purchase display at Staples

This is an odd display. The purposes of the display, apparently quite successful from the empty shelves, is to sell glue.

But the main selling point on this display is not to use the product to stick things together, but instead to use the glue as an ingredient to make slime.

An odd piece of marketing, but anything that sells more glue is probably just fine with the folks at Elmer's.
