Dip

The Dip (a.k.a. Toon Acid) is a sickly green, ghastly chemical concoction seen in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
==History==
It was created by Judge Doom and is evidently feared by all toons, as it can fatally dissolve any toon on contact. It is his preferred method of passing punishment, whether they are deemed innocent or guilty. In short, he wanted to commit toon .
According to Lt. Santino, it is a mixture of , , and ; the former two being paint solvents, and the latter being a natural constituent of and one of the most basic s. While it is externally harmless to humans (as Eddie Valiant was seen running through a flood of it), any toon that comes in contact with it will melt slowly and painfully. The Dip is apparently the only surefire way to kill a toon.
As a well-deserved poetic justice, Judge Doom ends up being melted himself near the end of the film, after revealing himself to actually be a toon. He also invented a vehicle machine called the "Dip Machine", which would have dissolved all of Toontown and its innumerable citizens into oblivion. Fortunately, it was destroyed by an oncoming toon .
Only three characters die from the Dip in the film: the Toon Shoe, Smart Ass, and Judge Doom. Benny the Cab comes into contact with it, but survives (his tires end up blowing out, though). It is highly possible that other toons died or at least touched it in order for Doom to know for sure that it worked. It is also possible that Doom tested other toons by throwing them in the Dipmobile and spraying them before the film's events to make sure that the machine worked as well.
==Trivia==
*In an early script, the Dip was going to be called "The Final Solution".
*The three chemicals that create the Dip are all paint thinners used to remove animation from cels, which explains why it is fatal to toons.
**The Dip would also be fatal to humans if ingested, given its ingredients.
*The Toon Shoe that got dipped was originally going to be a gopher, but it was likely changed for the film to keep a PG rating.
*Despite the description of the Dip as the only surefire way to kill a toon, the Toon Patrol are shown to permanently die of laughter as well; however, only Smart Ass was completely destroyed while the rest of them simply came back as ghosts.
*Thinner from the Epic Mickey game series strongly resembles the Dip, as does the chemical in the paint mixer rooms in the mint of Toontown Online.
*In the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers hybrid film, Sweet Pete is shown to have a vial of Dip as one of his torture devices.
