Snow Graffiti: Protest with Kool-Aid

Snow Graffiti: Protest with Kool-Aid
A fresh snow provides an amazing blank canvas. This is doubly true in places where visual clutter can make it difficult to put out your message. Recently Spicybiscotti's own Agents Nate and Paul took to the streets to try their hand at a little bit of snow protest. This is what they learned.

Step 1Supplies

Supplies
Supplies are pretty flexible but here are our suggestions:

1. Lots and Lots of Water: Spots near water sources are a plus.

2. Large dispensers of liquid: Fertilizer sprayers work nicely. Hand spray water bottles are not such a great idea.

3. Environmentally Friendly Dyes/Coloring (a la Kool-Aid or Food Coloring): It depends on your choice of dye, but we used about 4 or 5 packets of Kool-Aid per refill. The higher contrast the color the better. It's best to go for legibility over aesthetics if need be.

4. Numbers: The more people you have, the easier and faster the process will be. This also avoids lots of complications due to cold weather.

5. Warm clothes: Water + Snow = Uncomfortably Freezing. Gloves, boots, and quality jackets are a must.

I'll bet that would work even better on sand- no freezing the colorant, no melting snow while spraying and most importantly no waiting for snow!!

Awesome idea. Too bad what is likely to be the last snow of the season has mostly melted out here :(
