With summer approaching, I am anxious to try all kinds of fun stuff with my son.  I found a recipe for a Mountain Dew glow stick, but does it work?

One thing that my son loves to do, is jump on the trampoline on a nice summer night.  We usually go out and buy glow in the dark stuff or lanterns.  Well, I found a recipe to make a glow stick out of three simple ingredients: Mountain Dew, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide.

I decided I wanted to put it to the test.  Here's the process.

As you can see, I was totally disappointed.  :(  The Mountain Dew glow stick didn't work.  As a matter of fact, it didn't even get close to working.  I did do some research to make sure if I was doing it right.  I saw multiple videos debunking the life hack.

But I did find one that used those three ingredients but added another, an actual glow stick.  Of course it's going to glow with a glow stick in it.  #EpicFail
