Many Millennials grew up watching people get doused with colorful slime on game shows and award shows, and [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-life) will soon be selling nostalgic [Nickelodeon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-jacks-slime) Slime citrus popsicles. The Nickelodeon-branded frozen bar treats combine lemon-lime and orange flavors, offering a clashing combination of bright colors.
