Sorry for the off-topic deviation. It sounds (and looks) like a really fun event. I seriously envy USC physics undergrads.

Did the person who drew viscosity try an upside-down ketchup bottle?

I guess the limitation there is the ability to render a tomato recognizably, but the idea should be conveyed pretty easily. Did the person who drew viscosity try an upside-down ketchup bottle?
