In , he explained the recipe to the Orlando Sentinel , noting that he used "non-dairy cream substitute that we can add food coloring to and whip to various consistencies to resemble all different kinds of things.

Earwax was made with butterscotch pudding 40 to 50 gallons a shot , and runny noses dripped about 30 gallons of green slime with more gelatin than the usual mixture.

When Double Dare launched in , staffers referred to the slime on the obstacle course as Gak , where it was prepared by a gakmaster. Mark Summers says the term actually alluded to the street name for heroin.
But even at that point, slime and gak were different. As one gakmaster told the Orlando Sentinel in , "There is a difference between slime and gak. All items we dump on people are gak. You dump gak. Slime is more like a liquid. You pour slime. And the Gak sold to kids, meanwhile, had an even stickier consistency and a wider variety of colors than the slime you can see more of the Gak product line here. In Klickstein's oral history, Nickelodeon President Albie Hecht gives an eloquent description of the perfect sliming:.
If you really want to get into it, you talk as you feel the slime, which slowly comes down on your head. Then your eyes look up as if — what the hell's happening? And that's when they dump the big slime on you. Then you face forward because that's when we see it all over you. Our mission has never been more vital than it is in this moment: to empower through understanding. In a skit where a kid is shackled in a dungeon, he's warned not to mess with his shackles.
Naturally, he messes with them, and then "a toilet flushes and the signature green slime that has become so ubiquitous with Nickelodeon pours down on his head. According to NickSplat's YouTube channel , kids on the show were paid "25 to 50 extra bucks for every sliming.
While many celebs liked getting slimed, one in particular did not. Nickelodeon partnered with General Mills in the early s to make this limited edition cereal.
While the cereal itself is unavailable now, you can still have a piece of the nostalgic food in the form of a magnet from Amazon. Remember in the early s when Heinz decided to make purple- and green-colored ketchup?

Typically when you think about Nickelodeon slime, you picture the classic green and slightly viscous liquid being dumped onto the heads of unsuspecting game show contestants, celebrities, and sometimes even adults. That has to mean slime is edible, right? According to the Slime Society , there are several official slime recipes. In this game show, whenever one of the three contestants answers a question correctly, the other two get slimed.
If all three contestants fail to answer a question, they are all slimed. Additionally, during the bonus "Climb or Slime" round at the end of each episode, if the player answers a question incorrectly, they can choose to "slime reset" to another question based on the show they were asked about. The Slime Geyser was a fountain located just outside of Nickelodeon Studios , which would spew the goo upwards every fifteen minutes. In its early days, it would shoot forcefully enough to get anyone standing too close slimed, though the pressure was reduced in later years.
The fountain was removed in May of following the closure of Nickelodeon Studios itself. 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.
