You're referring to "Slime"?

That brand and trademark has been around for years. Best-known
(first?) product is a fiber-loaded gel that you can squirt in a
tire, before inflation... in the case of a small puncture, the slime
flows into and blocks the puncture and keeps the tire from going
flat. Or, so they claim.

It's bright green, and slimy.

Truth in advertising :)

In danish, the grease put on the rims to ease the mounting of the tyres
to the hubs is popularely called "dæksnot", tyresnot. Snot like a
snotty nose.
The danish word tyresnot btw means bullsnot. :) Tyr = Bull

Thanks for the correction. I'm glad to know there's a good reason for the
name.
 
It's got five days left.

The other thing is that they can just pull it. Bid against me with a sock puppet or it might just have a reserve.

I'll keep my eye on it though.
