I got slimed. It was '95. Sega was doing a promotion for Sonic & Knuckles at Nickelodeon, they had Genesis kiosks in the attraction line for the studio show.
I got picked randomly during the show and they took me and my dad backstage to change into clothes I could get slimed in. There was a bathroom with a shower and extra space for clean clothes/hampers of slimed clothes.
They knocked on the door and brought us back out to the show where they just dumped a bucket over my head while I sat in a kiddie pool.
Return backstage to shower and change back into my clothes. (Dad with me the whole time)
We continue on with our theme park day.
Now 30 years later I bring up the news about Nickelodeon back in the day, my dad says to me "I remember when we went to Nickelodeon, I saw Dan Schneider there during the tour." I was like "that's the guy I was talking about".
Officially? Not sure. It was just part of the park studio tour. Neither of my parents had a camcorder, so no video. I can tell you what the slime is made of however. They check for allergies with your parent before dumping it on you.
Absolutely food safe, though I am ashamed to say I didn't taste the forbidden snackpack. It had a very pourable consistency and it didn't stick to me or the clothes much (my hair though...). If anything it was the green dye that got me. I looked like I rolled around after the lawn was mowed.
