The video of the liquid prompted hilarious responses from social media users, who used references from 'Batman' and 'Ghostbusters' movies.
A mysterious, green liquid oozing out of the manholes and sewers in New York surprised the social media users this week. The fluorescent liquid was dubbed "slime" or "sludge" by many users on X (formerly Twitter), where the video first appeared. Others started offering 'Batman' references along with the green goo from the 1990s phenomenon 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'. "Am I too late with the reference?" one of the users wrote, along with a GIF of Dr Ray Stantz from 'Ghostbusters'.
However, a disclaimed on the original post on X added some context that it was a water full of green dye. "Plumbers frequently use harmless, fluorescent green dye to detect leaks in plumbing and sewage systems," the disclaimer added.
