How To: Make a tomato glow in the dark (FAKE?)

Spell check in progress. Please wait.

good

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!!!! Hey use the injector from an old inkjet refill kit!!!

This would kill them, try making this and injecting enough to make you glow see what happens.

Cool. Can't wait for the growing season. A burning bush!

Cool!!.... but how much bleach... which of the two layers do you collect.... and do you need pure hydrogen peroxide or will the 3% or so in the brown bottled stuff work?

you collect the top part.

dunno, looks fake

dubious.

good trick! I wonder how long the glowing effect last?

the glowing tomato from Springfield!

has anyone tried it? wht was the outcome/?

it should work

how come it didnt work for me

bleach

you need to collect the top layer of liquid to inject...the 3% stuff will work but the stronger the better for the peroxide....and the meat would work but you'd be better off using the chems as a rub rather than injecting cuz you need a space for the chemicals to meet

were can you find those kind of matches?

Doesn't work. Tried it. Are they claiming that tomatoes have CYALUME or LUMINOL in them? Kind of a bummer considering Shooting Eggs Productions usually has good info.

JAMES AND THE GLOWING TOMATO! XD

where the HELL am i supposed to get a syringe? the hippie from the dark, scary alley?

pharmacy

bah, I'm not English...

i have a ton, my friend had them left over from fertility treatments...

aw you cannot eat them?... jk

aw you can;t eat them

the whole apple tree is lighting up in the night now... YAY!!!!!

bought 2 kinds of non safety matches neither glows in black light. hmmm

Mosty likely you bought the kind high in sulphur and not phosphor

Use orgarnic peroxide

peroxylates? umm tomatoes contain oxalic acid in good amounts, and if you used strong enough hydrogen peroxide, I think there is a chance of this creating a peroxylate. My guess is that the bleach and high phosphorus match heads are used more as an aid in the natural glowing of the peroxide/oxalic acid reaction either in the form of a catalyst or other wise as a phosphorescent substance that would cause light generated in the uv end of the spectrum to become visible. I haven't researched the chemistry behind this, just positing a hypothesis on how this might be plausible.

how long do u think the glow would last?

lol wonder how many people die from eating tomatoes with bleech in them

i DONT think its a FAKE
(pretty damn confusing message)

I say, all the people who say FAKE, have you even tried it yet? If not, then u are a #$%@tard and should be eradicated immediately. Not to say that i've tried it. it seems a bit like the glowing mountain dew... whick CAN be done, but not in tthe way the videos say.

IT WORKS !!! :D thanks shooting egg productions :) i knew u wouldnt let me down :P :D

Is it possible to work experience other things?

of course it works it was my scince fair project a couple years back its a simple chemical reaction

what kind of bleach?

I like cemestry. however how long will this last, as the reactions will lose all thiere energy becuase they are losing heat, light energy. so in other words how long will this glow last? thanks

Oh wait it said dont eat em?... eeehhh

DUDEEEEEE THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! I did strung a whole bunch of these together into a chain, LOL> They dont hold a light for more than 12 hours tho...

I'm geussing red phosphorus

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!

If this video isint fake, I would recommend safety goggles, one of those little white masks for the nose and mouth, and gloves. Be careful around chemicals, especially when mixing. It looks like a cool video. I just dont have the syringe to try it

How do i do this cuz i cant watch the video for some reason so can someone tell me how to do it?
