I caught this on a news program yesterday. It sounds pretty odd to me
that a television network came up with a sauce for hotdogs based on
green slime:

Fast food joints (or should I say "restaurants") have been serving
various colours of slime for as long as they exist.

Yeah, well you know it's not something I'm going to seek out. I did
think it was a tad odd "food related" thing.

It's certainly not something I'm interested in trying. I doubt this is
actually something most people in the US would buy to put on hot dogs.

Nickelodeon green slime is transparent and florescent green. This ketchup is not the real stuff.

I guess you've never watched the channel? It has been many years since I did
but they get celebrities on there for the privilege of getting slimed. They
dump green slime all over them. Not my thing but kids seem to love it.

Given Nikelodeon's target demographic, the name is perfect. ;-)

I'm sure many young kiddies will ask parents to buy it. Green
sliming their food would fun!

My daughter used to watch it often in the late 1980s. Started on
their fast paced kids comedy show, "You can't do that on
Television." I watched with her occasionally. It was amusing. I
could see why kids liked the show.

Here's Will Smith getting slimed at the Kid's Choice Awards show
one year:

It appears to be a green ketchup. I saw one picture of it on
fries.
Young kids will want some at least to try. YOU should buy some
and put it on your next picture that has fries.

"Silly Rabbit, Trixs are for kids!"


(Parents of young kids will be the ones buying this.)
I seem to remember buying my daughter Green Slime Shampoo once
when she was young.

Only two differences, Heinz red, says made with red ripe tomatoes and
no mention of artificial coloring. That green yuck is likely made
with unripe tomatoes (no red ripe color) and the yellow and blue makes
green.

But...but ... Popeye sez they make it with unripe green tomatoes, so it
must be true, right?

He's *NEVER* wrong.
