Mountain Dew Glow Stick - Not

So Buster sent me this viral video that has been going around. It claims that you can turn a regular mountain dew into a glow stick by adding Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda. I was shocked and amazed at first… mostly cause I hadn’t heard of it. But then I got a little skeptical. So, Emile and I decided to try it out this morning….

First, watch the video, if you haven’t seen it…

So, the result is… ITS A HOAX

Yep, we got way too excited that this might work. We were like two kids running around getting the ingredients together. Then it didn’t work. We followed the directions exactly too. So, we did a simple Google search and found references of all the other dummies who tried this too. It doesn’t work. It isn’t real. We figure the guy in the video must have put glow stick liquid into the peroxide bottle to fool people.

Oh well. And the world could have saved all that money on glow sticks… Maybe it’s a video planted by the Mountain Dew marketing team to drum up some excitement.
