My parents are throwing a Halloween party, I want to find some kind of food, or food additive(NOT VISINE) that will glow under a black light. There has to be something out there that will. The party is in 6 days.
Anywhoo, I’ve been away from the board for quite a while, did I miss any good goat feltching stories? Munging perhaps?
Well Evil homework calls my name, gots ta go.
I’m pretty sure tonic water glows under a blacklight, because of the quinine in it (which also helps prevent malaria, BTW.)
I don’t know of any solid food that will glow, or stuff that could be added to regular food and drink without distorting taste and texture.
tonic water is it as far as I know and it tastes like shit, easier to get plates and cups than the food itself.
If you can find sufficiently old twinkies (they’re still good, of course) the filling glows. ((I’ve heard that they’ve changed the formula for whatever that stuff is so it doesn’t anymore.))
I like tonic water. Plus, I’ll be laughing my ass of when all of you are dying of malaria. So phhhht on you! 
What bouv and Critical1 said.
This site gives some drink mixes.
Bouv, Minor nitpick, Scurvey, not malaria.
I will have to grab a bottle of tonic, to check it out.
Scurvy? Only if the tonic has lime in it. 
Otherwise, malaria. (That is, if you drink enough quarts of tonic water to make a difference)
…try marshmallows for the glow. Krispy treats work, IIRC. How about mixed drinks with cream, like Kahlua & Cream? Do those work? I’d say some experimentation is in order this week!
At our dorm parties, I swear that Coca Cola turned a nasty green under blacklight. Not what you’re looking for, I’m sure.
You might try Kool-Aids and Jello under UV.
Er…
What’s blacklight?
There was I thinking that black was the absence of light.
How can stuff glow under it?
Fiendish- Blacklights are those purple lookin lights that give out a different spectrum of light. They make neon colors GLOW, makes your white shirt look all glowy, etc. Disco’s have them a lot. They’re just called blacklights.
Fnord- If you want things to glow a lot- you need big-time blacklights. those little incandescant bulbs will only work if they are right above the table- blacklights don’t have a far range. I don’t know about food, but I do know about a cheap paint alternative to use on walls, chairs, etc. that washes right off- Woolite for clothes. Great stuff. You can put it on bodies too, but it starts to itch after awhile.
Call a Halloween shop, they’ll know.

Woolite is cool, kinda blue. Im going to get some tonic water to try out, but I did make a discovery when I shined the light into my cupboards, Thousands and thousands of scorpians!! Just kidding, but i did find that everyones favorite green condiment glows. No not ketchup, Wasabi! kind of a weak glow, and it wouldnt really be cool in a punch bowl(practical jokes aside) I will let you know how my experimenting goes. Oh as for the light itself, its one of those 24" flourescent fixtures, works great.
Blacklights simply emit invisible ultraviolet radiation. The radiation then causes flourescent materials to emit visible light.
