How I loved my slime with worms. Sigh. Those worms were cool.

I was denied Slime as well. My friends had it, though, so I got my fill of playing with it. After you make it fart a few times, there wasn't much appeal.

I LOVED how it smelled! I can almost smell it just thinking about it...

I also had the Slime with Worms. It did indeed have purple worms in orange trashcan (the “can” part went on to be used as a toothbrush holder in our house…) but my little brother had the Masters of the Universe Slime Pit in the mid-80’s.
It made excellent slurping sounds and was fun while it lasted.

it also links to an ad for another slime product: Slime It’s Alive, which was basically just orange slime with 2 eyeballs floating in it.

I remember Slime!
My brother – who was more into trendy, novelty toys anyway – had to have it. It stank and eventually turned an ugly brown color.
I had completely forgotten about Slime with Worms but I also seem to remember that there also was a board game that incorporated Slime. I somewhat remember a little, 1″ high guy with his arms over his head to protect himself would get slime dumped on him.
Or am I just imagining it?

There was also Slime with Worms. I believe that SwW came in an orange trash can and the worms were purple. This stuff was awesome/gross. But it got full of hair and lint real fast, kind of like Wacky Wall Walkers.

3 things:

1. I'm surprised they didn't mention the smell.

2. Any place called "King Norman's Kingdom of Toys" is a place I wanna be

3. The kids failed to mention the number one use for slime - any plastic/rubber/bendy action figures you had were now able to battle The Blob!

I have a vat of generic Slime in my dresser drawer at this very moment. I've been planning on doing a post about it since I found it at the dollar store a few months back. Thanks for posting this article.

Slime is awesome!
