Most unicorn are Scottish, which makes this dye even more horrible. They use the endangered American unicorn, killing them by the dozens, and quickly wiping them off the earth.
The Scottish unicorn isn’t used because the green produced with them is more of a lime green.

SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OF ARTIFICIAL COLOURING!
Also, people.

DAMN YOU APES! DAMN YOU TO HELL! SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

I just find that mixing a hodgepodge of Heston’s most famous lines makes them even better.

and “Modest Proposal” was a very good example on why you don’t use sarcasm in writing.

He wrote it because he thought they could read tone, but since you can’t they thought he was a cop out and tried to tar and feather him.

Whoops.

@Fluffy
aren’t unicorns Scottish?

And the dye is made of American Unicorns!

It’s made of people! American people!

Actually, Soylent Green is based on “Make Room! Make Room!”, a novel written by Harry Harrison, the author of the Stainless Steel Rat series.

I wonder if there really is such a thing as Green Dye #3? A quick Google search doesn’t turn up such a thing, just a chart that starts at #5.

Some foods I’ve looked at that are green say “Blue dye X and Yellow dye Y”

For the people who don’t know the movie, just think of Soylent Green as the end product of A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, which if I remember would make its main ingredient Irish children.

A wonderful movie starring the late Edward G. Robinson and the equally late Charlton Heston. I’ve linked my name.

Sadly, ‘other’ is also made of people. Green dye #3, on the other hand, is made of unicorns.

naah, it wasn’t the exact same graph, it said “other” instead of “green dye #3″ -.-

And wouldn’t you know it… Soylent green is still people! (And Charlton Heston is still overacting wildly – and I love it!)
