Get slimed at the Nickelodeon Slime Cup!

To many, getting drenched in gooey, icky, slippery green slime doesn't exactly sound like a dream.

Yet somehow, Nickelodeon has made it become a badge of honour for the young and young at heart to get publicly covered in gunge.

Over the years, the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards has seen celebrities such as Adam Sandler, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Justin Timberlake, Tom Cruise and The Jonas Brothers all willingly doused in viscose paste.

This weekend, you can have your chance to have a similarly goopy experience.

 

 

The Nickelodeon Slime Cup is back in Singapore for the fourth time and it promises more slime than ever.

Held at City Square Mall, it will be open on Sunday, July 17 from 11am to 7pm.

While Saturday's event was only open to Singtel subscribers, Sunday is open to all.

The key gunge features are Leaky Lincoln - a giant nostril that "snorts" out slime - and Bowled Over - where you knock down bowling pins on a float and land into a pool of slime.

But it is not just about green viscosity.

Characters from Nickelodeon shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and PAW Patrol will be on hand to entertain.

The stars of Nickelodeon's live-action comedy series Make It Pop will also be doing meet-and-greets in the afternoon.

But the bad news for adults hoping to try the slime, or kids hoping to trick their folks into getting gunged - is that the slime stations have a maximum age limit of 14. It is just for the kids to enjoy.

The organisers suggest bringing a change of clothes - as does this reporter who was "privileged" enough to try it out.

A badge of honour achieved.
