I purchased floam to give as favors for my sons birthday party and now I am soooo embarassed. It is just as others have complained about. It sticks to anything and everything. It is totally unworkable and I am a seasoned crafter and art person. I will be writing to this company.

After months of my 4 year old son asking for this product everytime we went to the craft store, I decided for Christmas we would but a few small tubs (as it was on sale) so that he could make a Christmas gift. If I could swear on this site I would, unbelieveable, it worked nothing like the ad. It was so gooey and stringy that my son wouldn't even go near it, I worked it for almost an hour and it still would not stop sticky to my hands. Getting it to stick to a box was impossible. This is by far the worst product I have even laid my hands on, and I have crafted for years. There is no way this product is suitable for an adult let alone ages 5, this stuff needs to be pulled off the market

This product is HORRIBLE. After my 6 year old daughter watched this infomercial she was so excited about it she even offered to pay for it with money she had been saving. The first issue is that even though on the website when I ordered it I clearly ordered ONE order, I was sent two ordered and charged over 60.00 dollars. Then when we took it out of the box, how gross! It is like slime and glue mixed together that stinks really bad with annoying beads that make it harder to get it off your hands. Ther is NO way you could make any of the things they advertised on the infomercial. What a SCAM! I am surprised this hasn't been taken off the market. The FLOAM manufacturers must be snickering all the way to the bank. It is a shame this product is targeted to young children. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

My mum bought be this stuff for Christmas a long, long time ago, and it was fine. It worked as it should have and did not stick to everything. HOWEVER. Recently, we purchased a container, I'd say, about six or seven months ago, I tried it, and it stuck to EVERYTHING. In August, I got another container, thinking maybe it was just a bad batch. NOPE. It STILL stuck to everything. What happened?

We didn't get our Floam from an infomercial, it is in stores now. My seven year old daughter wanted some so much that she took money out of her piggy bank for it - it was only $4.00 for a tub, so I am thankful that we didn't buy a "set" or anything, but she's wanted this stuff for so long after seeing the commercials months ago, and was so proud to take her money to the store and buy a tub, then when she got it home and it was so slimy and sticky and smelly, it broke my heart to see the disappointment on her face. I read the instructions and "mixed" the floam for hours, but it never even closely resembled what they show in their advertising. This company should be shut down. It should be illegal to scam little kids like that.

I bought floam from a shop and i couldn't wait to try it out. When i opened the tub it was like yucky sticky goo. I thought that it was supposed to be NO GLUE, NO MESS and JUST FUN! Well obviously it was the complete opposite. I hated it! I Tried mixing and mashing it for 1 hour it still was sticky. Then i washed it of with water. It clogged up the drain. Then it made me use two towels to wash it of my hands. Now the floam wont wash off the towels. WHAT A RIP OFF!!! Don't buy it, it does the exact opposite to what it says it does. TRUST ME!!!
I ordered floam off of the cartoon channel for my daughter and it was advertised very opposite of what I received. The infomercial told me that if I ordered now that I would receive the big tubs of floam and all I have is these little containers thats not even half the size of a cereal bowl and I feel as though I was ripped off for $74.70. If you have any decency you would send me out what was advertised or reimburse me my money. I am a single parent and my daughter has been looing forward to this for sooo... long and this is what you people do. And my daughter is old enough to tell the difference between what was advertised and what she received.

I purchased some floam for my kids two separate times and out of 4 tubs only one was usable. The other three stuck to everything, accept what we wanted it to stick to!!! This product is horrible! It got all over my kids cloths, my table, the dog and everything else. They tried to put it on plastic easter eggs and it just would not stick to them. Then we tried to form it into a ball at last resort and in about 2 minutes it turned into a semi flat ball. Don't buy this stuff its a rip off!

My kids wanted this badly so I bought it [] for $7.99 a little container. My 5 year old wanted to do what the commercial said and make things. Could not, did not stick to anything but the carpet. They played for about 20 minutes and that was it. I ended up trashing this 3 days later because they said it smelled and was not fun. They love playdoh, so something has to be wrong for children to hate it.
For every complaint this thread gets, I'll buy an order of Floam just to offset the bullshit.

I got a sample of this stuff for free in a prize box. Later that night i was mashing it around in my hands, it did'nt seem very sticky in my hands like others reported but it wouldn't really stick to anything. Plus after using it my hands had the worst smell, I don't know what they put in it but it is GROSS! It smells bad and dosen't do what the infomercial says,don't buy any the free stuff i got is bad enough.

I have a charge for $196.20 on my bank account and I never even ordered this product! My 7 year old saw the ad on TV and made the call. I don't even know the number he called, or why they would authorize a charge to someone who is clearly a child. My bank agreed to remove the charge, but companies like this need to be put out of business.

I bought almost 180 dollars worth of floam for my grandchildren. They played with it for about an hour and then gave up. This stuff is horrible and definitely not what is advertised. Save your money!

I purchased Floam from [] last year for my daughter for Easter. I didn't know about this website until now, or I would have reported this more quickly. Thankfully, I didn't have to pay the full price for each of the containers, but since my daughter thought they were from the Easter Bunny, I could not return them after she tried them, or she would have been devastated. Anyway, she was very excited to get the Floam after seeing in several times on TV. She immediately took it out and tried applying it to several things, including her Easter basket. I did have her mix it up before applying it to items, but the stuff would NOT stick to anything but her hands! According to the infomercial, you can decorate things like doll houses, bikes, bike helmets, etc. We tried it on her bike helmet, but it just ran down the sides, just like it did on her Easter basket and the other, misc. things we tried it on. It does not work as described. It might, possibly, work on paper (we ended up throwing it away before trying this), but it isn't worth the price you pay for it.

Floam is a HUGE SCAM... My 4 year old and 6 year old got Floam for x-mas. They were excited to play with it and harped on me until I dug it out of the pile of x-mas presents. It says to mash and to mix so you can play with it. Needless to say, I was mashing and mixing for 45 minutes to try to get this CRAP off my hands. You can wash your hands off with water because this FLOAM WILL CLOG YOUR PLUMBING. If you try to use a paper towel to get it off, THE PAPER TOWELS WILL STICK TO YOUR HANDS. I had to waste a wash cloth to get it off my hands and throw away the wash cloth. The creators of companies like this should be put in prison for scamming hard working citizens out of their money.

My children have been begging me for months to get them some floam. So thanks to the television commercial, I told them that they could get some if they used their own money. They promise double sized tubs, etc. etc...today we got the floam kit in the mail....it is the exact same size as the one you can by at [], and cheaper for that matter, and it is shipped in a box that has in black letters - SMALL. When I asked why we weren't sent the "Jumbo" container, they said it is "Jumbo", it's the same container with more Floam added. What a crock! They told me that I could send it back but would not refund the amount of shipping and handling and I would have to pay for shipping to send it back. They also said it could take up to 30 days for the credit to come back on my account. WHAT A SCAM!

I purchased 4 colors of floam, when ordering that day my packages were to be doubled, but when I received them they were not, I paid $28.00 for 4 packages of junk. They do not stick to other objects as advertised and the odor is awful, I don't want my kids playing with this stuff.

We purchased 4 cannisters of floam, and the texture of the sticky substance varied between all 4. The white "floam" was very sticky, and only stuck to our hands. It didn't stick together at all for the purpose of doing anything with it. The next week, when my granddaughter opened, it, it was all molded and stinks to high heavens. Now it is yellow and green. I even wonder if it is poison, as it certainly has to contain a bacteria in order to mold. I don't know where to go to have it analyzed, but I am afraid this is a serious problem with this product and certainly should be investigated. Thank you if you can give me any help with this.

I purchased this online after seeing it on TV. While ordering they asked if I wanted to upgrade to the six color pack for $24.95 plus $7.95 shipping. I agreed but unknowingly ordered two sets of the stuff for a total of $60.00. I tried to get through to cust. serv. for over three weeks and when I did they said that's all they were doing were taking compalints about the same thing. You can't contact floam directly and now I an sitting with $60 worth of this stuff.
I couldn't believe it, I ordered this video, it took 6 weeks to arrive, but I was in the middle of "enjoying" it, when suddenly, my sister was on screen. What the hell is up with that. I am still in therapy for that. The worst part is that she didn't even realize what was goiing on, they just got her liquored up and naked. This is just plain wrong.
