Making Fake Blood

4/27/14
My mentor assigned a project for me, which was to create three different types of fake blood. The first had to be a lighter colored blood that would be fresh blood. The second had to be thicker and darker, as if it were an older blood sitting out for a while. The last blood just had to be edible, to apply safely to the mouth area when needed. For the first batch of fresh blood, I used corn syrup, red food coloring, a little black food coloring, and a bit of water. For the second batch, which would be the older, thicker blood, I used corn syrup, chocolate syrup, starch, red food coloring, green food coloring, and a little purple food coloring, a little bit of sun burn reliever (aloe vera) since it has a gel thicker consistency to it, and I also added a little bit of water. And the last batch was 100% edible, even though the first batch was edible as well, this is the darker version of an edible blood. I used ketchup, corn syrup, red food coloring and a little bit of green food coloring. It may not taste great, but it works. If someone would like to have the taste better, they can substitute the ketchup for a thick fruit punch.
With these bloods I creates different wounds: cuts, stitches, a ripped mouth.
