I'd classify it more as a syrup, but whether syrups are just a subset of "goo" is up to you

I've never met a syrup that wasn't gooey.

Simple syrup and maple syrup are both pretty liquid.
cattywampas@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 23d
Yeah, gooey liquids
kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 23d
Not really. They flow pretty freely.

Absolutely a goo

Well it’s not a glop nor a goop. It’s not really an ooze either.
So I’m saying yes. It’s a goo.

Dictionary says "goo" is a viscous or sticky substance.
Honey is both sticky and viscous. Therefore, it is a goo.

Yes, but it's probably the most viscous goo.

I enjoy silly questions like this (is a hotdog a sandwich, etc).
IMO "goo" is usually used when talking about something unpleasant. I think of honey as something very pleasant (barring any accidents).
However, after reading the other comments: I think I'm probably wrong and honey is indeed a goo.
TIL!

On the hotdog as a sandwich debate, the entire paradigm has shifted!

Delicious bee puke.
Yes, it's a goo.

yes, and alcohol is a fungus goo
turns out that everything that's non-vegan has been processed by something other than a plant.
(idk whether fungus are considered vegan. in case they are, even some vegan products are processed by other things.)

Yeast is vegan because nooch is yeast and vegan.

Sure, maybe, but to get really gooey.. it's much more elastic, IMO. Like aloe vera gel, snot, hot cheese, melted marshmallow, egg (raw)
And the king of goo: okra

Anything sticky and viscous would count, probably, so yes.
To be slime, you need a certain elasticity or gelatinousness as well. Honey isn't really slime.
