I too used to love to eat the paste in elementary school!

The teacher in kindergarten used to tear off 4”x4” pieces of brown paper towels and take a wooden tongue depressor and drip into the BIG glass paste jar and smear an glob of paste on the paper towel squares and dole them out to each kid. As soon as I’d get mine I’d start eating it.

My Mom used to yell at me, “Eddie are you crazy, that paste is made with horses hooves and you’re gonna get tuberculosis if you keep eating that paste”. But it didn’t stop me.

Sickening!
It's no doubt that I refused to Follow The Crowd while growing up.

Lighten up Matt!

That was 69 years ago and I’m still here. Lots of kids ate paste and lived to tell about it. It tasted like Beeman’s Chewing Gum, which tasted like wintergreen mint to me, YUM!

My sister in law ate dirt when she was about 4 and got pin worms.

I remember making mud pies in the back yard, scooping spoonfulls of mud on the bricks in the sun.
And then laying on my back on the lawn and watching the clouds, and imagining what they looked like - while I was waiting for my pies to get done.
Jeez, the silly things we all did as kids!
I could write a book!

LOL!
Great reply Eugene!

I never could understand why kids in grade school talked about eating Lepage's Paste.
I knew what it was for, and thought it was silly to eat.
I always was one that didn't want or like to follow the crowd.

By the way, you're in Idaho, how come my local supermarket (ShopRite) has been getting those huge monster russet potatos lately?
Them things are a meal all by themselves! - some 6 to 7

We don't get them. They send them all out of state where they can get more money for them.

Ewwww!

That's what we thought, too, and the janitor was none too pleased. However, we did go out to the playground for an unplanned recess.

So either you didn't get it, or you've taken all your antibiotics!

There's a meme circulating about not arguing with people on the internet... because they're probably the ones who ate paste in school.

I very rarely ate any paste. From what I can find out, white school paste was usually make from wheat flour or cornstarch, sugar, water, and possibly alum and clove or mint oil. Nothing that would make anyone seriously I'll.

Thanks, but I'd rather have a nice greasy double cheezeburger from McDonalds.
With... an order of fries.
