Im no chemist but i dont think that it would work. It is just a publicity stunt.

[spudgunnerwryyyyy]

yeah i saw that, it would probly work but not neearly as good as they portray it in the video.

[pyrogeek]

That is freakin awesome
There are other videos, and they make other things glow. I'd like to test a few possibilities, like just the baking soda and peroxide together. Different weak acids in place of the Dew...

[homedepotpro]

it already been proved fake, and i think it was already on here

[SpudUke5]

yes I do also believe that this was on here already and was proved fake. But some people got it to work if I remember correctly.

Like I said I haven't tried it yet but I will today. Sorry I didn't know it had been already posted.

They come in all different sizes. I remember a glowing tomato, but not the mountain dew bottel.

[psycix]

The mountain dew is proved fake as far as I can remember, but the tomato was indeed true.

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

fake

[jimmy101]

Both the mountain dew and glowing tomato are fake.

The glowing tomato would work if you had a source of pure phosphorous. The youtubs posts claim you can use strike anywhere or strike on box matches for the phosphorous but it doesn't work as advertised.

For the mountain dew, they probably just dumped a spent glowstick in the dew bottle. Adding the peroxide rejuvinates the glow stick chemicals.

You guys are right. It's a hoax. I tried it twice. Nothing!
