Nickelodeon could be planning to relaunch its classic Gak slime!
Inspired by Nickelodeon's iconic slime and based on an idea from the network's beloved Double Dare game show, Gak Splat is a slimy Nickelodeon Compound toy first introduced by Nickelodeon in 1992 in partnership with Mattel, and allowed fans to play with Nickelodeon slime in their own homes, as well as make fart noises whilst putting the slime back into it's clear Splat casing.
Over the course of the '90s, the Gak toy range was expanded to include different variants, including Gak-in-the-Dark, Solar Gak, and Smell My Gak, along with activity and play sets, such as the Gak Pak, Gak Vac, Gak Inflator, Gak Copier, and Nickelodeon Gakoids, before eventually being discontinued. There was even a GAK Meister's Kitchen at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, which allowed visitors to taste Gak.
Over the years, Gak has made various comebacks, including in 2012 in partnership with NSI International, however, it seems like Gak is set to make another comeback!
Earlier this month, Paramount Global, under Viacom International, Inc., applied to trademark the name "GAK SPLAT" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), under NICE Class 28 for Games; toys; sports equipment, pertaining to Goods & Services such as "Flying discs; Play balls; Foot balls; Dart games; Toy sling shots; Toy modeling compounds". The application was made on Thursday, May 8, and is currently pending approval.
Whilst the filing doesn't confirm that Nickelodeon is about to bring back its classic Gak product, it seems like there may be a good chance we'll be seeing Gak back on toy store shelves once again in the near future!
