I just think the novelty of these type of displays was up in the 90s, It’s time for an upgrayedd. I propose leprechauns flying up and down the river wearing water jet packs, shooting people with their Chicago-style hot dog cannons would be more with the times. What’s your idea?
Well I live near an actual toxic river that has been cleaning up lately. I just think dying it green makes it look gross, maybe it’s time to projection map it green or give everyone green tinted glasses so then everything is green and you don’t have to make the river an oooz color.
Lol sounds like a you problem. It’s all biodegradable and good fun. It actually does look cool. Long time Chicagoans and new visitors still like it. Sorry you don’t.
Ah yes, a perfectly safe dye… that has warning labels on it indicating it’s a bad idea to use a lot and it’s toxic when concentrated. Yep, pefectly safe!
Anything is toxic when concentrated enough. Fish food kills fish at high volumes; fish kill humans at high volumes.
What’s crazy is there are really good ways to dilute things–namely using a high volume of water…
Hell, water and oxygen are toxic. The dose makes the poison.
Isn’t the dye something non toxic though?
There are water-tracing dyes out there that are designed specifically to be able to dump into water to see where it’s going – like, to find leaks and such – and I bet that they’re using one of those.
IIRC you can normally get red or green.
