Synovial fluid found in diarthrotic joints of humans and animals displays this tendency. High concentrations of hyaluronic acid and other glycosaminoglycans have a gel-like consistency at rest that converts into a fluidic phase under stress (during motion of the joint) and then returns to gel.

The hand sanitizer is a weak gel, and the shear flow of spreading it on the hands breaks up the gerl. Such a property is sometimes called thixotropy. One way to think of it is that the bonds holding the gel together are not the permanent type, and once they are disturbed, it takes a while to re-form. Paint is a famous example of a thixotropic substance. It lows on when brushed, but then gels when left alone. If paint were not thixotropic, it would flow down onto the floor.

You are probably looking for the word 'liquefaction,' which means dirt during an earthquake suddenly becoming runny.

Either that, or 'thixotropy,' which means a fluid moving about more easily the more pressure is applied to it.

Yes, but keep in mind there are many type of honey, and many ways of processing the honey.

I will assume we are talking about natural honey, Liquid and unpasteurized... this is still a wide range of honeys as the properties of the honey are different by location and what flowers the nectar was gathered from. (not to mention the species of bees).

so in short i'd say: yes honey has a high viscosity at room temperature.

afterthought: "high viscosity" is a very broad term as well...
