    You couldnt go a saturday morning or night without someone getting gunged on tv. people would be made sit in a glass box while they waited to be covered in some colourful goo. This would be brought on by losing a game or getting a question wrong etc.

    Why oh why did they get rid of gunge!!!!

    Noel Edmonds house is built on foundations of (figurative) gunge. Those were simpler times when people dressed head to toe in stone washed denim whilst dancing to novelty songs sung by people in luminous yellow and pink costumes. If the X factor became the gunge factor I might start to watch it.

    Glazers Out!

    It didn't just stop at TV. You could even get gunge toys back then too

    I always wanted this. Never got it though. In retrospect it was probably a good thing. I can imagine that stuff genuinely gunked up the toys and was probably impossible to get out 100%

    I had it, f*ckin loved it.
    It actually came off all the He-Man figures really easily, except this lad Grizzlor, for obvious reasons
    You needed to be quick if it got on your mam’s carpet too :)
