thought Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make
an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she
added another gloopy blog—and another
With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded

After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly
and carefully. It was fragile-bendable and easy to tear-
but it made an excellent impression of her tongue.
