I think that's an Irish thing (they tended to run these travelling fairs). Lots of superstitions around anything "green", being displayed in a negative light. Like a giant alien bug head maybe.

I recall similar superstitions in the world of car racing. A green NASCAR car is a big no-no.

Humans are weird.

Never heard of this but I haven't watched in a while.

Skoal, Mountain Dew, Interstate Batteries, Quaker State, those are all green cars
