This has been featured around the Innernet recently, so why not here? Personally, my biggest skepticism is that I suspect it actually needs a mix of dark soy sauce and a much lighter sauce that floats on top?

I dunno though, maybe the 'trenches' are so deep that it works with simple soy sauce? Pretty dang clever, either way.

Nothing suspicious about it, dark but not fully opaque fluids like soy sauce start out light but get darker as it gets deeper

Like water, I guess?

Looks so clear and 'pure,' but then when you fill the pool up..?

Exactly so, except that soy sauce needs a lot less to show the effect!

Nothing suspicious about it

Bullshit.

That's the funny part about all the "soy" replies to me. There's so many sauces this could work with, so in what universe would the Soy part be something I'm confused about? The gate and flowers in the comment I replied to are obviously NOT soy.

I think the right question to ask is, Plate?

Soy. Weren't you paying attention?
