    While some claim that Mountain Dew can be turned into a glow stick by adding common household ingredients like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap, an experiment showed that this is not true. The author hypothesized that Mountain Dew would not glow when mixed with these items. An procedure was followed where the ingredients were added to Mountain Dew and vigorously shaken, but the results were negative - it did not glow as expected. The conclusion is that Mountain Dew cannot actually be transformed into a glow stick.

    Mountain Dew = Glow Stick

    I love drinking Mountain Dew. Many of my friends often say


    that it is radio active because it can be turned into a glow
    stick by adding a few household items. So
    Can you really turn Mountain Dew into a glow stick by simply
    adding baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap?

    Hypothesis
    No. I do not believe that my beloved
    drink can be turned into a glow stick by
    adding a few simple household items.

    Items Needed

    Dish Soap, Baking Soda,


    Hydrogen Peroxide, and
    Mt Dew!...of course!

    Procedure
    Pour out or drink all but a small volume

    of the soft drink (~1/4 inch). If your


    bottle is empty, add a little water.
    Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid.
    Add 1-3 capfuls of hydrogen peroxide.
    Add a pinch of baking soda and
    immediately seal the bottle.
    Turn out the lights (if you haven't
    already) and vigorously shake the bottle.

    The Results Are In!!

    It did not GLOW!!

    Conclusion
    However unhealthy Mountain Dew
    may be for other obvious reasons, it
    is not toxic and cannot be
    turned into a glow stick as predicted.
