I always wondered that myself. I haven't seen it on Nickelodeon for about 15 years now and I am kind of curious to this myself.

The slime they use on Nick is also called gunge, which is a runny paintlike substance made by the these two recipes.
A simple recipe for a nearly harmless slimy substance involves the following ingredients:
borax (available in hardware or convenience stores)
PVA glue, e.g., white wood glue (available in hardware or convenience stores) based on polyvinyl acetate.
water
Combining the ingredients in the correct order and proportion produces a thick tacky fluid like material. A good external source for detailed quantities & instructions can be found at www.madsci.org
The result is an opaque viscous polymer, damp to touch but very tactile when squashed between the fingers.
Using polyvinyl alcohol instead of the glue results in a transparent slime.
Another formula is:
rubbing alcohol (or pure isopropyl alcohol)
polyvinyl alcohol powder
water
The slime can be enhanced by adding a small quantity of food colouring to the mixture.
A variety of products can be used to make substances suitable for human sliming, including:
Oatmeal
Cake Batter
Natrasol
Brownie Batter
Guar gum
(** color can be enhanced by food coloring)
The slime is harmless, but could block pipes and drains if disposed in sufficient quantity. The possible health effects of using borax or polyvinyl acetate based products should be noted.
A quick slime (called Oobleck) can be made with corn flour, water and Food Colouring. It is possible to have the water evaporate to leave behind the corn flour, thereby removing the need of disposing it down a drain.
Im pretty sure since it is made of paint it probably stains.

I know for a fact that back in the day, when i used to watch "you can't do that on television" They used corn muffin batter, and green food coloring. I wrote them a letter and thats what they said it actually was.
