that intense color, due to betacyanin pigments can pass through your digestive system.

I'm thinking practical joke potential here -- like Burger King's Halloween black burger buns which gave people green poo.

"In general, most stool color varies day to day based on what you're eating. It can have flecks [of different colors]. It can be dark brown or light brown or a little yellow," he said. Eating lots of spinach can also turn your poop green, and having a beet salad might turn both your urine and your stool an alarming shade of red.
