Best use of green slime

What's the best use of green slime as a monster or hazard that you've ever seen or read?

For my opinion, I think the green slime hidden under a couple of feet of muddy water in White Plume Mountain was clever. Evil, cruel, even arguably unfun, but clever.

Clay pots full of green slime, used as grenade weapons. I forget whether that was in an AD&D module or in a Dragon adventure, but it was very evil and very plausible.
 

Any hidden slime is good. ;)

Slime cover skeletons/golems give the slime mobility but I have also had goblins coat their arrow tips in green slime.

60' pit trap with the bottom 20' full of green slime.

There was a pair of pcs imc who actually started a corporation dedicated to slime related technology, green slime grenades, etc.

Another time, some dire beavers had dammed up a river... the pcs destroyed the dam with green slime and destroyed the town with the subsequent flood.

A couple of very large dracolich statues with nose holes, dropping the green slime(s) upon the hapless victims if they trigger the trap to release the slime from the chambers within the statues that held them.
 


I ran a game once where some villains used various oozes as biological warfare. They infused green slime into apples, so that if you bit into it,your mouth was filled with green slime. The PCs had track the shipments down before too many people were exposed. Had a fun time with it.
 

I seem to remember in the first room of Labyrinth of Madness that there were invisible trolls with black puddings on the the end of poles.

The poles held the black puddings in glass globes at the top that smashed open for direct pudding hits.

The same could be done with green slime.
