There's something about bright, seethrough gel that brings out the kid in all of us. But despite Moongel's childish appeal, the rectangular pieces of rubbery sticky stuff have a legion of fans.
They may initially seem less adhesive than, say, Vater's Buzz Kills, but Moongel still sticks fast and is easy to clean with soap and water.
