Make Mountain Dew Glow in the Dark Like a Lightning Bug

Posted by Charlie White at 5:40 AM on October 9, 2007


This video tries to make you think that all you have to do is mix a bit of Mountain Dew with a few innocent household chemicals, and you get yourself the equivalent of a lightning bug, or maybe even a neon light. Is this real? We can't tell how bright this really is, but it's just another example of better living through chemistry. And we mean that in a good way. But is it safe? Chemists and experts, do tell us if this works, and if so, how? [YouTube, via CrunchGear]

Safe enough as long as you don't drink it, Hydrogen peroxide is poisonous. But no idea otherwise if this will/won't work
