Green River

This year, McDonald's donated the Shamrock Shake boat to dye the Chicago River green for St. Patrick's Day. The boat itself was disappointingly small and shoddy.
The milkshake you see flowing out of the cup looked like dyed felt in person. But look how green it is!

This is a classic Chicago thing and I am so glad you got to witness it. I always wondered how, exactly, they made it green. And now I know.

Isn't there also an awesome parade? Led by the mayor? Who is supposed to be Irish?
