1 water bottle

Pour vegetable oil into 3/4 of a water bottle. Fill the rest with water.
Let the water bottle settle for a few minutes.
Then, add drops of food color into the bottle at your own discretion. Let the food coloring settle at the bottom. If the food coloring does not settle, take a stick and swish the liquid around to blend in the coloring.
Drop a tablet of Alka-Seltzer into the bottle.
