We do this all the time with BioCurious for science faire demos. We
just have people collect a vial of spit, then add some salt, a drop of
detergent, and pour rubbing alcohol on top. Because you start with a
much more concentrated sample, the result is a lot more impressive
than what they showed in the video. No need for any food coloring
either.
Here's a nice picture from our booth at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire:
