Many Millennials grew up watching people get doused with colorful slime on game shows and award shows, and Walmart will soon be selling nostalgic Nickelodeon Slime citrus popsicles. The Nickelodeon-branded frozen bar treats combine lemon-lime and orange flavors, offering a clashing combination of bright colors.
In addition to being available in frozen bars, Nickelodeon Slime will also be sold in the form of ice cream cups that feature low-fat vanilla ice cream with swirls of green icing.
Now that slime has made a comeback and texture-rich slime toys have captivated the interests of a new generation, it is once again serving as inspiration for colorful and quirky snacks, many of which encourage playing with food.
