Make Your Own Glow Sticks

I am not totally convinced that this really works... The video skips between the addition of the bleach and the amazing glow. He tilted the bottle forward so you couldn't clearly see the liquid, and the next time the liquid was visible it had turned yellow. Still, awesome video, and too tempting to resist trying this out (but not in a glass jar and not without safety goggles.)

Poke around on the site. There is another video for making glow in the dark carnations. I haven't tried any of it yet. But it sure looks fun!

I'd wager this is a hoax, similar to the "Mountain Dew glow sticks". Most likely they had a chemical light glow stick that they'd carefully leaked into the jar beforehand. The H2O2 provided the necessary oxidation to set the reaction in motion, and the other stuff were just red herrings.

The glow was entirely too perfectly "glow stick" green
