After all these years, the secret is revealed

If you're a child of the '80s or '90s, you're probably very familiar with the green slime used on the popular Nickelodeon show Double Dare (If you're not, there are plenty of YouTube videos to add to your viewing queue). But until now, the slime's actual composition has probably remained a mystery to you. Former host Marc Summers, who has since hosted Food Network's Unwrapped for 10 years, opened up to Gourmet Live about what actually went into that green slime.

The base was vanilla pudding, applesauce, oatmeal, green food coloring, and by the third day, anything else that was on the obstacle course. Was it edible? For the first hour or so.

You mean the slime wasn't actually...slime? This is like finding out the Tooth Fairy isn't real. Our childhood selves -- side ponytail, t-shirt ring, tapered jeans and all -- feel a little used.

What I don't understand is how the kids they picked sucked so much? I remember screaming at the TV because they were doing it so epically wrong. It's like they always went through the audience and picked the most nonathletic kids to be on the show - same with double dare. You could see the f-ing flag in the goop and they still couldn't find it.

yeah. kids' shows sure were a lot of fun...

But if I could do it all over again, I would've watched less TV and studied harder in school.

hell no. I'd consider that being unsuccessful.

With the jump start, I'd have a condo in Manhattan, no wife, but a revolving door of girlfriends, and something fast and German.

 

[wolverine304]

I graduated highschool at 17. Does that count?
