You’re in hot water; if that water is red, that is

I’ve just come across the Light Delight range of water faucets made by an Italian company named Equa. Essentially, the faucet illuminates the water different colors depending on the water’s temperature: red for hot, purple for warm, and blue for cold. My first thought was: hey, that’s kind of a nifty idea. Why haven’t we done that before?

My second, and much more angry thought was: just stick your hand under the water for a second, you lazy excuse for a hypothetical person. If it’s too hot, add some cold water. If it’s too cold, add some hot water. If it’s warm, well, wash your face; it’s filthy.

I’m not sure how much it costs to have pretty colors integrated with your tap water, but I’ll say this: it’s probably too much.
