A simple additive that turns bright red upon contact with urea. Guaranteed to be the life of your pool party *and* to scare the bejesus out of whoever 'lets go' first.-- nuclear hobo, Jun 09 2007 Urban Legend (1994) http://www.snopes.c...cience/poolpiss.htmGuess you missed that one.

I CUT MYSELF! IM BLEEDING!"
Mother:"Everyone out Jimmy's gone and peed in the pool"
Kid:"Feeling woozy..."
*falls down dead*
Mother:"Ohhh. Thats what that red stuff was."
And do we have an idea what chemical it would be that was non-toxic?-- punk_punker, Jun 09 2007 //And do we have an idea what chemical it would be that was non-toxic?//
Considering the toxic cocktail that most pools represent, does it really matter?-- nuclear hobo, Jun 09 2007 [nuclear-hobo] intaking chlorine would make you sick. Intaking a chemical that turns red when mixed with urine might just kill you-- punk_punker, Jun 09 2007 Cost a few squid, hehe.-- zeno, Jun 09 2007 Hasn't every drop of water been through millions of kidneys by this point?
Its all pee, man.-- Galbinus_Caeli, Jun 09 2007 wow. I was looking for this online - I thought to myself, he's got to be wrong about it.
I've just realized that I was lied to my entire childhood about making pee pee in the pool; a lie that I have believed until this very day.
Thank you, [hobo] for destroying all that was precious to me.
oh, and [+] by the way. :-D-- CaptainClapper, Jun 09 2007 WHAT?!?
FIRE ALARMS TOO?!??
*reaches to the sky* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo-- CaptainClapper, Jun 09 2007 There's GOT TO BE dye in the stolen clothing things though... if not, I'm going to cry.-- CaptainClapper, Jun 09 2007 is pee cleaner than pool water?
i read, somewhere out on the internets, that if ya don't have sterile liquid to flush out a wound, pee is a good alternative.
wondering about the truth of that?-- TIB, Jun 10 2007 sea link.-- pashute, Jul 22 2013 My optician once berated me when I said that, if I had to remove and replace a contact lens whilst out and about, I would use spit to lubricate it. She said I'd be better off using urine, which was sterile.
I tried to explain that I get enough strange looks when I spit on a contact lens.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 22 2013 random, halfbakery
