The contestants on the show would be slimed if they said the words 'I don't know'.
According to Vox, children who were 'slimed' on the popular nineties show even earned a bit of extra cash, as they awarded $25 for having the slime thrown over them.
The recipe for the green slime was revealed when Nickelodeon TV personality Marc Summers, 67, who hosted Double Dare, shared the exact ingredients needed to make it.
In a video for TechInsider Marc said: 'It started off as vanilla pudding, apple sauce, green food coloring and a little oatmeal.'
