Is THIS Mt. Dew Glow-in-the-dark experiment a hoax? Yes.
(The video shows that when you mix Mt. Dew + hydrogen peroxide + baking soda, then shake it all up, it'll GLOW!)
The girls & I tried it & it didn't work. THEN, I started googling & saw that it was definitely a hoax.

Should I have been smart enough to know that it wouldn't glow? Maybe.

Did the fellas who made the video spell the word"Mountain" wrong in their list of ingredients?
Yes.
Yes.
Is there a slight editing glip in the video at 29 seconds?
Yes. (Possibly when they slipped some sort of glow solution into the Mt. Dew?)

THANK YOU for busting out the truth, you little Myth-busting Misses! Now I will not make a fool of myself in front of my children... ;0)
ReplyDeleteWe tried this same experiment at one of my son's sleepovers... needless to say, BIG disappointment, especially after the hype & "waiting til dark". Oh well, at least we had other activities planned. Lesson learned for sure
ReplyDeleteOh I know! I think that's what was so sad about it all: the girls & I waited ALL day & ALL night until it was dark. We even tried it 4 times. haha!
