STEVE SPANGLER: If you haven't
seen this, it is so cool.
00:00:02
To 75 milliliters of distilled
water, you're going to acidify
00:00:06
that with a small amount
of acetic acid.
00:00:09
And I'm just using the regular
vinegar to be able to do that.
00:00:12
It calls for citric acid, so
just a little shot of the
00:00:14
lemon juice, but not much.
00:00:16
The baking soda buffers it.
00:00:17
And to that, there was about
3 and a 1/2 grams
00:00:20
somewhere in there.
00:00:20
And the last little part was
the part that everybody
00:00:23
misses, and that's the
hydrogen peroxide.
00:00:25
Now, it's not the last, because
the secret ingredient,
00:00:28
believe it or not, to make this
whole thing happen is
00:00:31
So just leave a small amount
in the very bottom.
00:00:34
When you add it, watch
what happens.
00:00:36
This is so cool.
00:00:46
This is the secret to
the glowing liquid.
00:00:49
You can make your own glow
stick in Mountain Dew.
00:00:54
I'm Steve Spangler, and I'm all
about making science fun.
00:00:57
For the last 20 years, I've
been teaching ways to turn
00:01:00
ordinary science experiments
into unforgettable learning
00:01:04
I have an amazing team who will
do whatever it takes to
00:01:07
affect the way people
think about science.
00:01:10
And to do that, I live
by one motto--
00:01:12
Make it big, do it right,
give it class.
00:01:20
Do you know why I love
this so much?
00:01:22
Who would have thought
a glowing liquid?
00:01:24
Who also would have thought that
4 and 1/2 million people
00:01:27
could be tricked so easily.
00:01:31
You can't do this.
00:01:32
You can't add Mountain Dew to
these simple ingredients and
00:01:35
This is a chemoluminescence
reaction.
00:01:37
And you know why they
use Mountain Dew ?
00:01:38
I'll tell you why.
00:01:39
Because they're using
a light stick.
00:01:41
And the light stick
is this color.
00:01:43
And they have to somehow
disguise that
00:01:44
distinguishable color.
00:01:46
And how brilliant
that they used
00:01:48
Mountain Dew as that disguise.
00:01:50
It's just an internet hoax.
00:01:52
And it just shows you our
chemical and our scientific
