How to Turn Mountain Dew into a Glow Stick
Have you ever found yourself with a can of Mountain Dew and wondered what you could do with it besides drinking it? Well, I have a unique and fun project for you: how to turn Mountain Dew into a glow stick. It’s a simple and creative way to repurpose a soda can and create a fun DIY project. Here’s how you can do it:
Materials Needed:
1. A can of Mountain Dew
2. A lighter or matches
3. A pair of gloves
4. A plastic bag
5. A small container
6. A few drops of food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
1. Wear gloves to protect your hands from any soda spills.
2. Place the can of Mountain Dew in the plastic bag to prevent any mess.
3. Hold the can with the lighter or matches and ignite the soda. The pressure inside the can will cause it to explode.
4. Once the can explodes, carefully remove the top of the can with a pair of pliers or a knife. Be cautious, as the can will be hot.
5. Pour the contents of the can into the small container. This will be the glowing liquid.
6. Add a few drops of food coloring if you want to give your glow stick a colorful hue.
7. Allow the mixture to cool down and solidify for a few hours.
Now you have a homemade glow stick made from Mountain Dew! You can use it as a fun decoration or a unique party favor.
Benefits of This Project:
– It’s an eco-friendly way to repurpose a soda can.
– It’s a fun and educational DIY project for kids and adults alike.
