Engaging science for young minds............Thursday, March 31, 2005
Although some of the questions/answers in this game are not educational, overall, I found this item to be great fun for the whole family. The questions have a range of difficulty, so when we play it with our 7 year old, he can answer some, and we adults don't get bored because we find others interesting. Some items are inappropriate, but we just omit those and ask another question or do another task that appears on the same card.
I would recommend this game to all parents who frequently play with their children, and are looking for something unique and fun for them, as well as the children.

Educational?? Scientific??? NOT!!!!!Tuesday, January 25, 2005
We bought the "Totally Gross" game for our son for a Christmas gift. When we looked at the game, we thought we were getting an educational game about science.
What we didn't know was that we got a game about rude behaviors.
After looking at the all cards, I was in shock. The number of body functions that are talke about is inappropraite. Also telling kids to stick fingers into their ears and into their mouths can be a health hazard. Telling the kids on the cards not to put their finger into their ear "too far" and to make sure they have "clean hands" before sticking their fingers into their mouths was a nice gesture BUT kids will be kids and do they really know when too far is enough or does it take a trip to the ER for a puncture ear drum!
I thought, surely there can't be that many cards with such offensive material so I started removing the offensive ones. I stopped at about 15 and decided the game is very inappropriate.
I'm not sure how this game has ANYTHING to do with the "major science disciplines", as quote on the box! I do not recommend this game to anyone unless you want your son running around telling everyone he needs to go "drain the lizard" when he needs to pee.

Totally gross funMonday, October 18, 2004
My two boys (ages 9 and 7) cannot stop giggling when playing this game. They love the gross questions, the silly "dares," and the neat experiments. Meanwhile, they are learning interesting facts the whole time with brief explanations to boot. I enjoy playing with them as well! Defineitely a good game. We received as present, and I plan to give as a gift as well!

Snot & Toe Jam! OH MY!Thursday, November 21, 2002
Real life bodily functions (almost all of them) and other gross stuff are brought to light in an educational game. Compete with friends, "gross" them out, complete a science experiment and win the game! Though you may not agree that the subject matters are acceptable in polite society, this game is a blast to play. 5 stars for a fun time, educational about snot, vomit, toe jam, ear crud and stuff like that and 5 stars for durability !!
