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?

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.

Yeah I honestly always thought it looked really cool too
