is Retromutagen Ooze rotten inside?

I have a few cans of sealed ooze...was wondering if it is a bio disaster inside of them? Remember these are almost 25 years old

has anyone opened any?

Don't know about the Retromutagen, but I recently opened a sealed 20+ year old tub of Ghostbusters Ectoplasm, and it was just a foul-smelling watery liquid. I'd imagine the Ooze is the same.

Either way, I'd keep them sealed.

are you serious about it being toxic? Cause if you are, then the answer is no. But it's probably lost it's viscosity.

There are signs Nick could release their own ooze... not as valuable for collectors but for those that simply want some ooze, for vintage or new figures, would applaud this. I hope they do.

I saw a review of the new Nick Sewer Lair on youtube and they poured ooze down the pipe and it looked like brand new fresh-off-the-1980s-shelf ooze. i wonder what they used cause it clearly was not vintage ooze...

On the sewer lair box, it says something to the effect of either 'Look out for Ooze in stores soon', or 'Ooze sold separately'. Because there is that part of the lair that is meant for a person to pour ooze into. It's even on the box. So yeah, we'll eventually get it. And I can't wait.

But bacteria can't develop if something is sealed right?

Really? If that's the case, keep a sealed gallon of milk in the fridge for 2 months, then drink. It can develop, but I don't think bacteria has anything to do with certain chemicals breaking down in the mixture. There's no food in it, so I think bacteria is an irrelevant discussion.

If you have a few, hell, I'd open one. You would still have 2 sealed ones. And if you ever wanted to sell them, you would get a pretty good price for them.

good point..didn't think of milk....this is an organic substance too , some kind of tree extract no? so it will be spoiled inside

it's a gross thought knowing it's basically a can of puss and sewage

In that case, I should open some up. I'd love to be a mutant, frankly.

A canister of 2003 ooze still smelled fresh when I opened it the other day. It must depend on where the Ooze is stored, since a climate-controlled enviornment will make it last longer in terms of a good scent. Since these were originally sold to children and there are no chemical warnings on the tube, I'd imagine that these should remain safe provided they aren't mixed with hazardous materials.

Now we know what the secret of the ooze really is; it's just a bunch of water, school glue, borax, and food coloring. Its basically a liquified version of Play-Dough. The only thing that its missing are some DNA molecules that cause the mutations. Thanks for the video!
