A Color Chemist Named Bubbles
December 4th, 2008
Last night while having an entrepreneurial drink with a good friend I met a very attractive woman who works as a color chemist. After several minutes of rousing discussion on topics such as:
- “If I get Blue #2 in my blond hair will my hair turn green”?
- “Which Peruvian beetle makes the best natural red coloring for M&M’s? (for the British only)
I decided to investigate what other exciting contributions color chemists are responsible for and the answer: bubbles. Or more accurately Zubbles; colored bubbles. It looks like this small company out of MN has been trying to bring this product to market for almost 3 years now and can’t seem to make it. Is there a conspiracy among the bubble industry to keep this mum? Surely the arrival of a mainstream colored bubble would spell an end for your average bubble toys.
