At Marquis Hall, at the University of Saskatchewan, we had "the whipped
cream test."  You needed a plate, a glass, and a glob of so-called "whipped
cream."  After putting the "whipped cream" in the centre of the plate, you
would press a glass down onto it and then lift the plate up.  The "whipped
cream" was an amazing adhesive -- you could wave the glass around and it
wouldn't get unstuck from the plate.

Once someone hung a glass upside down on the bottom of a table using only
"whipped cream" as adhesive.  It stayed there for many months.
