didnt post in lolinternet because its more of a chemistry question.
how to make a tomato glow -- and judge for yourself just how incredibly awesome a glowing (inedible) tomato really is... or you could cheat and watch the video after the jump.
Materials
1. A box of non-safety matches
2. Bleach
3. A tomato
4. Hydrogen peroxide
Tools
1. Knife
2. Small container
3. Syringe
Time
Less than an hour
Steps
1. Empty the box of matches, and use your knife to scrap off the red material on the heads of each individual match.
2. Collect the match head shavings and place them in your container.
3. Pour in enough bleach to completely submerge the match heads, and allow the material to fully dissolve.
4. Let the bleach / match mixture sit for 20 minutes.
5. After the mixture has sat for long enough, you should see two distinct layers in your container: solid on the bottom, liquid on top. Using your syringe, extract the liquid layer.
6. Find a spot along the side of your tomato and inject some of the extracted liquid.
7. Move over an inch and inject the tomato again.
8. Repeat the last two steps until you've made it all the way around the tomato, and used up all of your extracted liquid.
9. Fill the syringe with hydrogen peroxide and inject it into the center of the tomato.
10. Continue injecting the center of the tomato until it starts to glow, or you've run out of hydrogen peroxide.
11. Sit back and marvel at the coolest (glowing) tomato you've ever seen.
would this work and if so, how?
