18 Things Dyed Green for St. Patrick's Day

Chicago dyed their river green, but there's plenty more things that are green too

1. The Chicago River:

It's been a tradition since 1962. For about 12 hours leading up to the annual St. Paddy's Day parade, the river runs bright green. How do they turn it green? That's a secret only the Chicago Journeymen Plumbs Union knows.

Watch the entire river turn green in just 30 seconds here:
