Jelly Bath - Chemists Required!
Discussion
In my never-ending quest to acquire gadgets which (whilst awesome) are ultimately completely useless, I stumbled across Jelly Bath. Behold its pointless awesomeness.
Sadly at £9.99 a pop I'm far too cheap to purchase it. However, I'm guessing that the gelling agent and dissolving agent are just two different (and relatively simple) chemicals. Possibly chemicals which I could order in bulk over the internet quite cheaply. Being a man, I'm not too fussed that my cheap home made version won't smell of lavender. Also, the prospect of a gel-based paddling pool in which I may bask pleases me.
So, anyone know what said chemicals may be? Or is it more complex than A-level chemistry leads me to believe?
Cheers!

[i]Special effects
The slimy, gooey appearance of an appropriate preparation of methyl cellulose with water, in addition to its non-toxic, non-allergenic, and edible properties, makes it popular for use in special effects for motion pictures and television wherever vile slimes must be simulated. In the film Ghostbusters, for example, the gooey substance that supernatural entities used to “slime” the Ghostbusters was mostly a thick water solution of methyl cellulose.
Methyl cellulose is often used in the pornographic industry to simulate semen in large quantity, in order to shoot movies related to bukkake fetish. It is preferable to food-based fake semen (e.g., condensed milk) because this last solution can often cause problems, especially when the ingredient used contains sugar. Sugar is thought to encourage yeast infection when it is injected into the vagina.[/i]

I've tried http://www.jellybath.com/ which looks to be much the same thing.
I don't know whether it's true, but I'd heard that the chemical which makes the jelly is the same thing that's in nappies.
What I definitely know is true is that the powder you use to dissolve the jelly is just bog standard table salt
It was lush, but not worth the £15 or whatever it was, and it did make the bath retain heat for longer than normal.
Edit to add that the ingredients of the jellybath one might be: Sodium polyacrylate (rice starch), Ascordate acid, Black Tea, Coconut fragrance, Titanium dioxide.
