"And this is where the rainbows are made." The Pegasus in the white coat said, pointing to the factory floor below the balcony. All around him fillies and colts stood, most looking bored, but a few, especially the young Pegasai, looked at least a bit interested, so the tour guide continued. "As you can see, the workers must wear protective clothing at all times, because rainbows can permanently stain their mane and coat. Even their wings need to have protection."
"Excuse me, sir?" A young filly said from the front. She was an orange Pegasus with a pink mane.
"Yes?"
"Is it true that rainbows are made from foals that you guys kidnap and then you grind them up into rainbows?"
Silence. The room got completely silent. Miss Cherilee was the first to speak up. "Scootaloo! What kind of question is that?"
"No, its quite alright, ma'am." The guide said. "We get that question a lot. No, that is just a rumor. Our rainbows are made mostly from water with some natural dyes and a stabilizing agent, no ponies at all." There was an audible sigh of relief from the filly, and a few others who had also heard that rumor.
"Alright, everypony, lets keep walking. Our next stop is the snowflake floor, and each of you will get a chance to make your own snowflake!" The guide continued on with a smile on his face.
Scootaloo glanced down at the factory floor one last time, unfortunately, just in time to see Rainbow Dash walk out of a door labelled "No Entry". She thought about yelling for her idol, but then she saw what she was wearing.
A protective suit with a lot of red splattered onto it.
Scootaloo gasped and ran to catch up with the group.
Don't worry Scoots, it's just all-natural Red Dye

The most natural Red Dye in existence. Roses don't count, it comes out as a light shade of red, not the vibrant red of blood.
Rainbows are made from water and dye. But what about snowflakes?
