Ask The Consumerists: What's in the Ooze?
We're on a quest. We want to interview the Oozinator. We want to find out what was going on in Hasbro's minds when they created this product and its advertising.
Our first stop is the Oozinator PR people. They are happy to forward our request to Hasbro, but they would like to see a few sample interview questions first.
Sample questions we had in mind:
• "The ads depict teenagers squirting boys who appear under 10. Is it Hasbro's intention for this product to be marketed to older males?"
• "What was the inspiration for the Oozinator? Perhaps a rare animal or something else found in nature only in special circumstances?"
• "In business, as in war, it's found that groups begin to function less efficiently if their size is greater than 150 persons. What is the maximum amount of people Hasbro recommends for a group Oozinator fight?"
Pray tell, what should we ask the Oozinators?

From Hasbo's product page:
Sneak up on your opponents with a surprise bio-ooze attack! Just when they think you're coming at 'em with water, blast 'em with a shot of icky bio-ooze! Shoot out globs of gooey bio-ooze and then drench 'em with water! It's a double blast attack that'll keep your opponents on their toes and running during every water fight. With the OOZINATOR blaster you don't just get soaked, you get drenched!
* Air-powered blaster lets you drench your opponents with powerful blasts of water or globs of gooey bio-ooze!
* Hit targets up to 35 feet away with a 27-ounce water-supply capacity or up to 20 feet away with a 10-ounce bio-ooze capacity!
* Blaster comes with 10-ounce cartridge of bio-ooze.
Wow, 35 feet? Does Ron Jeremy know?
Does it come in multiple colors? Can you use it for a squirtgun when you run out of ooze? Will there be larger versions of the Oozinator in the future with larger ranges? Does it glow under black lights? Could you make a glow in the dark ooze? How well would water balloons work with ooze instead of water? Could you make holy ooze for combating vampires?

Does the ooze stain clothing? How do you get the stains out if so?
