Nickelodeon Slime 3LB Ice Cream Premade Slime Bucket – 3 Colors-in-1 Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate Colored Slime

Product Information

The scene got such a positive response that the writers made sliming a recurring event. The show's creator Roger Price came up with the idea of sliming anyone who said "I don't know" because he was frustrated with his children answering all his questions with the phrase. Usually it was green. However, there were exceptions. For example, in one episode Russians took over the studio and slimed anyone who said "freedom" with red slime.

Several slime-related products were created and sold in the past, including Green Slime Shampoo, which was used as a parting gift on Double Dare, and Slime Shoes. A toy called Slime was also made; however, it did not prove to be as popular as the similar Gak. Under a more unified roof, shows such as Double Dare underwent bigger makeovers and took on numerous iterations. Soon, entire families and celebrities were slipping and sliding their way through obstacles, which became more screwball as the shows extended their runs. One frequently-used contraption was called the “One-Ton Human Hamster Wheel,” which required getting on all fours to rotate a heavy metal sphere. Another obstacle featured a giant head that contestants climbed through—“and that dictated the fact that you had to have something that looked like earwax, which turned out to be butterscotch pudding,” Taylor says. All of it was sloppy, outrageous fun, and brought even the most popular teenage celebrities competing down to a human level. “There’s that huge fantasy element, which is why everything was sort of bigger than life,” Darby says. “It’s fantasy, but an attainable fantasy. You could see yourself doing that.”It was about being more than a TV network. It was more about being a mission and a cause for kids.” —Webb As I mentioned earlier, Mattel was all but done celebrating ‘slime time’ before the end of the decade. However, that is not where the story of Gak comes to an end. Roger Price understood kids really have a shitty situation in life,” Webb says. “By having water and slime dumped on these kids and having them chained up as prisoners … for a kid watching at home, it had this catharsis. … It was never [meant] to be a punishment, and it was always a celebration.” Halfway through the game, a "Secret Slime Action" would be announced to everyone but the panelists. Once one of the panelists (usually Danny Tamberelli) performed this action, they would be slimed. Occasionally, the slime used on Figure It Out would be yellow. Size and Color: We provide 200ml jar of crystal mud with blueberry add ins to fill the container so that kids can have plenty of mud to play the way they like.

Alongside redesigned versions of the Gak Vac and Gak Copier, NSI International hit the ground running with a host of other fun products that included Mood Gak, Twisted Gak, Super Stretch Gak, and more. Throughout the 1980s, slime-based products could be found in any number of toy stores. Nearly forty years after Silly Putty had accidentally arrived on the scene, toy manufacturers large and small saw the potential of the gooey substance and looked to market it in any number of the big toy brands of the day. Especially given its massive appeal to children. In the episode " Graveyard Shift", when Squidward is trying to remember the signs that signal the approach of the Hash-Slinging Slasher, he then notices the walls behind him are oozing green slime. He initially thinks this is the third sign, but then remembers, "No, wait, they always do that." Arguably the most iconic part of the network, slime’s distinct coloration originated from a smelly accident. In the early stages of You Can’t Do That on Television, Price and Darby had written a skit that took place in a dungeon, where a kid pulled a toilet chain and got covered in waste. Because it would make a mess, the creators had planned to make it the last shot of the day, but filming ran long and the producers missed their window. The next week, unknown to them, green crud had grown over the sitting effluent, turning the repeated gag into something that looked radioactive. “It reeked to high heaven when we actually did it,” Darby says, “and it was a big hit.” But above everything that made the Crag so enticing, it was a mountain that kids everywhere could picture themselves climbing. “A critical thing,” Taylor says, “was that they saw themselves, or could imagine themselves, being there.”

For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. The episode " How Double Dare You!" centers on Lincoln and his sisters wanting to get a spot on Double Dare when they hear it's coming to Royal Woods, hoping they can get slimed themselves. Sure enough, they all eventually get slimed at the very end of the episode. The episode's original title card also depicted Lincoln covered in green slime.

It didn’t matter if you were a boy or a girl. A dad, mom, aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, or nephew. Gak was for you! And, it was loads of fun – even all on its own! And, how could it not be? It came in all sorts of wild colors, stretched further than anything else on the market at the time, and did I mention it was also capable of making some pretty hilarious fart sounds? Gak also included glycerin. It is said that this was added to the recipe to make parents’ hands feel softer when they played with it – thus chipping away at any distaste they may have had toward buying their children something that looked as though it was capable of making quite the impressive mess. Especially if it happened to be left in the care of an unattended minor. Recipes for slime vary, with green jello, food dye, and baby shampoo commonly listed as ingredients. In a 2011 interview with Gourmet, former Double Dare host Marc Summers said the slime base vanilla pudding, applesauce, oatmeal, green food coloring. “Was it edible? For the first hour or so,” he added. So, if it’s such a hassle to distribute and clean up, what’s the appeal? Why do we like slime so much? “In school and at home, children are accustomed to structure. From the moment they wake until bedtime each night, their day is planned down to the minute,” school psychiatrist Heather Lappi told Vice. “Watching another child get slimed or messy and knowing that the child is not going to get grounded or have to clean up the mess is very alluring.” In Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, the Ooey-Gooey World ride at EuroReptarland is filled with green slime.

The recipe used varied over time. The original recipe was Jell-O based, but it didn't last because it was too chunky. The replacement they came up with was Cream of Wheat/oatmeal, water, green food coloring and baby shampoo. Towards the end, it was cottage cheese dyed green. At the same time, many of the original Playmates Ninja Turtle offerings would use slime as a major play feature. Numerous discount brands could even be found in any corner convenience store. Some as close as the nearest cash register. The Double Dare crew couldn't use the oatmeal based recipe from You Can't Do That On Television because the studio lights would harden the slime into a kind of plaster on the obstacles. The show's slime was pudding or applesauce with green food coloring. [2] During each taping, 30 gallons of slime was on hand. [3] Following each taping, it took a team of 15 people 20 minutes to clean the set. [4] Wild and Crazy Kids [ ] In fact, Gak was so popular that 160,000 units of the stuff was sold by Walmart in just three weeks’ time!

Specifically on Double Dare, many of the resulting messes made on set during play were said to have been dubbed as ‘gak’ by the show’s crew. Thus, the story goes that this is where the marketed slime would eventually end up getting its name from.

Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards

However, perhaps my most favorite version was Gak’s Alive! Aimed at those with a thirst for knowledge, this dark blue substance contained iron particles. Kids could then use the included magnetic wand to make this particular Gak move all on its own! It was a lot of fun, and I can remember my fourth grade teacher being more than a little enamored with the stuff. Still, it certainly made for some fun and memorable science classes! Enter The Gak-Cessories!
