I know from personal experience that it's not fun to be covered with oobleck.

(Edebiyat) Oobleck is a fictional form of green precipitation invented by children's author Dr. Seuss in the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck. Oobleck was called down from the sky by a king bored with ordinary rain and snow. Oobleck proved so sticky that it gummed up the whole kingdom, which would have perished had not a page boy named Bartholomew Cubbins (previously renowned for his prolifically reproducing hats) saved the day
