Is too

In the 0:39 of the following cartoon, the blue girl says "Is too. Squish it, squish it." and on the context, this "is too" must mean the agreement of the green girl's "It's gross". I've heard of "me too" or "you too" type usage in several times. Is this kind of expression(be verb+too) often used in daily conversation? Thanks in advance!

It’s an idiomatic and usually childish way to contradict someone. The argument could go on to infinity, or at least until one tires himself out and takes a nap. - Tommy is a bed-wetter!

aramahosithis "is too" must mean the agreement of the green girl's "It's gross".
No. It's disagreement with the intervening "It's not".

— It's gross.
— It is not.
— Is too.

"( [It / They / You / ...] ) [Is / Was / Are / Were / ...] too" is only possible after a negative.

It's fairly common.
