drippiness
Overly saccharine quality
Drippiness is the quality of being drippy—excessively sentimental or saccharine.
A love song might be criticized for its drippiness, a greeting card for laying on the drippiness too thick.
The word can also describe literal wetness: the drippiness of the cave walls.
