About this deal

For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. 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.” 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.” On the revival, an extra sliming action, called the "Word of Honor", was introduced, where one of the words in the puzzle would cause the contestant to get slimed.

The obstacle course elements bled over into GUTS and Legends of the Hidden Temple, shows that featured more athletically-inclined participants. According to Darby, Hidden Temple, which was produced by an outside company, was a mix of Double Dare and Finders Keepers with an Indiana Jones aesthetic (it featured a “cohost” called Olmec, a talking stone head meant to represent Mesoamerican civilizations) and its trivia centered on history and geography. After a variety of physical challenges between six teams, winners needed to retrieve a historical artifact kept inside a giant, two-story temple, filled with multiple themed rooms, before time ran out. “They could go up and down, [but] it sort of depended on the route they took,” Taylor says. “We had to provide enough passageways—sometimes it turned into a dead end, but sometimes if they hit the right button it would lead them to another route.” 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?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. 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 [ ]

Premade Slime: This is our newest creation, with a ocean blue theme looks stunning that kids will be entertained for hours. Anyway, just take it out of the jar and play with this slime as you like.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. Perfect Gift】Our slime kit is a great gift for kids for home, school, or outdoor play, parties, or as a portable individual or multi-person play activity. Surprise your child on their birthday, holiday, or a regular play day with this amazing slime kit! 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.” The episodes "The Big Cake Mistake" and "A Very Villainous Vacation" feature the bonus segment "Rhyme or Slime", a game show in which a character gets slimed if they say a word that doesn't rhyme. Neither trash nor a toy, this fascinatingly fun compound captured the imagination of kids and adults alike with its mysterious properties and endless appeal. While at the same time proving that sometimes there is just nothing more satisfying than groping some goop.

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.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.” 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.” In fact, Gak was so popular that 160,000 units of the stuff was sold by Walmart in just three weeks’ time! It was about being more than a TV network. It was more about being a mission and a cause for kids.” —Webb
