Why do they still dye the rivers green for St. Patricks Day? It's not a good look for downtown Chicago.

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?

How is it not a good look?

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.

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.

LPT: if you need this for home purposes, for example to find where your toilet tank is leaking, kool-aid works really well.
