I would buy one for the people I know, but they apparently cost 140$ upwards. Randall is a rich man.

Do E. coli bacteria mask the response of Staphylococcus? Do the responses go through the gift wrapping? The gift from the guy should have shown Gram-positive, because of Staphylococcus. Thus the mistake. --[[Special:Contributions/79.201.88.62|79.201.88.62]] 13:08, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
Of course, the dye used in Gram-staining is DYE and will color hands, clothing, (wrapping) paper, and floors.  Megan might not have a bunch of bacteria coated presents (except for the one from That Guy in the title text), and instead she has just ruined her own Christmas.  Or made it more awesome, YMMV[[User:FredG|FredG]] ([[User talk:FredG|talk]]) 16:50, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Given that she colored the wrappings, most presents should be still fine. Especially considering you usually wrap the present INCLUDING the original packaging. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 09:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
I found this funny, especially with it seemingly be tangentially related to [[761|Depth-First Search (DFS)]]. [[User:Genux|Genux]] ([[User talk:Genux|talk]]) 00:42, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
Most species of Staphylococcus (such as S. epidermidis) are harmless; most strains of E. coli (with the notable exception of O157) are harmless. --[[User:Prooffreader|Prooffreader]] ([[User talk:Prooffreader|talk]]) 09:13, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
Is it just me or does the one on the left on the third frame seems to be purple (Gram-positive)? [[Special:Contributions/189.123.131.245|189.123.131.245]] 02:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 
 
 
I just noticed that her hands are stained purple in the last frame. [[Special:Contributions/70.31.159.230|70.31.159.230]] 16:12, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 
 
 
:I don't know...they look pink to me.--[[User:Dangerkeith3000|Dangerkeith3000]] ([[User talk:Dangerkeith3000|talk]]) 22:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 
 
 
In mine they are pink (might be your monitor), and if you compare the second and third frame the striped present is not purple (Gram-positive) it is in fact pink as the rest (just dark due to the stripes on the wrapping paper). My question is why are her hands not stained purple in the second panel/frame... is she more careful with the first dye and not the second? Also, with "that Guy" referring to Santa are they implying that he pets his Reindeer and they have E-Coli on them like any other animal (lack of hands to try to wipe it away). ~~MIRAnger
 
 
 
:If you download the image and zoom in, the black stripes of the present blend in a lot with the pink, one of the more blended pixels does look very purple (#6c2267). [[Special:Contributions/172.69.64.208|172.69.64.208]] 15:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 
 
 
Wait, why is 'That Guy' White Hat? Surely it should be Black Hat due to his habit of posting bobcats... [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.185|141.101.98.185]] 07:45, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

It also appears that Megan skipped the necessary decolorizing step (ethanol or acetone) that prevents the purple dye from obscuring the pink for Gram negative cells.  Dumping the dyes onto presents would not require this step, but it would also not provide any insights into the "cell wall" of the presents.  Also she missed an opportunity to do something ridiculous with intoxicants and/or solvents!  Perhaps Megan didn't read the instructions carefully, in addition to whatever weirdness led her to dump dyes all over the wrapped presents.
