Bergeron led the participants in making their own slime using water, calcium chloride and sodium alginate. Sara Arsenault, one of the organizers of the record attempt, said Guinness rules required at least 90 percent of participants to remain for the entirety of the lesson and all of those counted had to create their own slime. "When we heard that the Guinness World Records attempt was successful, it was euphoria," Arsenault told Guinness.
