if you collect your "spent" inkjet cartridges (the copy ones that always report empty when there's clearly some left it) in a plastic bag, inside another plastic bag in case of leaks
... with the aim to give them to someone you know who collects them for a charity recycling scheme
... and Covid happens so you don't see him for a year and they're left in your boot.
the following happens, which I did not know:
1. the colours leak and combine to form a green that is as near "Land Rover Green" as you can ever imagine.
2. the said mixture slowly dissolves plastic bags and leaks everywhere.
3. Luckily the plastic "box" you'd dropped the plastic bag into DOESN'T dissolve.
4. but it takes the dye well.
5. LR green is not a good look inside your travel coolbox.
6. "Elbow Grease" cleaner dissolves the goo in some fashion and it comes off the coolbox.
7. and transfers to your skin.
8. Elbow Grease will not remove it from skin.
9. nor will soap. or acetone.
10. this would obviously not happen if we weren't going out later for a meal in a posh restaurant.

Wow, it's a good job no one would do such a thing...
Perhaps a pair of white gloves could be worn to said restaurant. Blame aversion to Covid or an allergic reaction to your surgical gloves that you were wearing because of Covid.
Or just say "Yes! I like Land Rovers! All right?!!" in a threatening manner to anyone that gives you a funny look for having green hands. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

To avoid embarrassment at the meal you could:
A) Don a full Michael Jackson disguise and wear the white gloves
or
B) Cover the rest of your body in the said dye, book a table under the alias of Dr David Banner and halfway through the meal rip your shirt off and yell " don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!"
Other options are available....I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
