I used to be obsessed with The Trap Door... the videogame. I had my own headcanon mythology for it, as the show never made it to Spain. I even drew Transformer versions of Berk; Through the Trap Door, the second game, where Berk eats candy to get different superpowers, had me drawing Berks with all kinds of superhero costumes and superpowers.

Kid me was such a nerd (said the 43-year-old in a videogame forum).

Haha, that's great! I loved both the show (even though I had only seen a few episodes of it back then) and the video game (I owned the C64 version of the first game). And, like you, I was obsessed with The Trap Door. It got me interested in stop-motion animation, which eventually lead to me making a short claymation film with a character that looked suspiciously like Berk :-)

Fuck this bullshit. Shit ruined my skateboard's deck. Looked like a god damn Petri dish spilled all over it. Couldn't even scrub it off with hot water and a knife.

In the commercials they presented it as a toy with an endless amount of fantastic uses, in reality it was just an unpleasant sticky, gritty mess.

Man, some of this stuff is pathetic

How did we deal with it? Recording tapes, dial phones
Even burning CDs feels ancient.

Wow, this reminds me I modelled all of the videogame cast (plus a few of my superhero variants like Wolverine Berk) out of air-hardening clay and toothpicks, then painted them. Good times! :)
