What's in the pool doesn't look like water at all. The liquid - if you could call it that - looked very thick. You dip your toe into the tan blob to find out that it is indeed as doughy as it looks. It only takes you a minute to figure out that this 'pool' is filled to the brim with bread dough!
Suddenly uninterested in taking a dip, you turn away, seeking something else to entertain you.
