    What's wrong with it? I'm sure it won't be the "Sniffin' Glue" type of product.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Well i don't think encouraging kids to smell glue is a good idea personally

    It won't be in any way harmful, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea.
    A child who has used it may see someone using one of the solvent based adhesives and decide to have a sniff of it thinking it will be like their lemon smelling stuff.
    I realise that dangerous items shouldn't be left where kids can get hold of them, but mistakes and accidents can and do happen.
  • Not a solvent, but yes! Quite a stupid thing to promote. How many children will think it's fine to sniff glue - I imagine the idea is to sniff once dry - however how many will wait until it's dry ;-/

    If no kid was ever killed by a scented gel pen, I'm sure they can survive a tub of stinky glue.
    'til the end of the line

    Disgusting. I won't set foot in Tesco and encourage any responsible parent to now do so also.

    What kind of example are they setting to children? Imagine the parent trying to tell kids they shouldn't sniff glue, when they're being told everywhere that it's ok.

    Huge over reaction to a harmless product in this thread.

    Extending the lack of logic and common sense up to yet in this thread, you should boycott all shops selling toy guns!

    If you don't want your kids using this product THEN DON'T BUY IT!

    Thinking about it, a child won't sniff solvent based glue as it "doesn't smell as nice as that glue mummy bought for me"

    This is just wrong! How is it ok for a child to ever sniff glue?
