The slime will stretch and pull like most slime recipes, but it doesn’t quite have the same stretchiness to it that traditional slime has.
The reason for this is due to chemistry.
Traditional glue slime creates stretchy polymer chains that are plastic-like.
While sugar can stretch when heated, it typically will never have the elasticity of traditional slime.
