Glowing Mountain Dew is a great Halloween prank because it’s safe, fast, and easy to make glowing Mountain Dew at home by adding baking soda and peroxide and shaking vigorously.
Here are some glowing Mountain Dew pictures and the recipe for how to make your own glow in the dark Mountain Dew:
This stuff is so bright, you can read in the dark by the Mountain Dew glow!
Mountain Dew glow recipe -Â Follow these steps:
- Pour 3/4 of a 20 ounce Mountain Dew into a glass
- Add 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda into the remaining Dew
- Add 3 bottle caps of hydrogen peroxide into the bottle
- Replace top and shake vigorously!
And that’s how to make Mountain Dew glow!
It glows so bright, you can see it clearly outside at night.
You can even spell words with glow in the dark Mountain Dew. How much fun will that be for Halloween night? And I’m sure you can think of hundreds of other fun uses…
Glowing Mountain Dew Video
Here’s a quick how-to video showing you how easy it is to make your own. Just remember to make it in small batches because it’s a litlle fizzy when you first shake it. Not as bad as Diet Coke and Mentos though…lol!
And that’s how you make Glowing Mountain Dew!

Fake, scam, trick. He put a glow stick or something like that in the bottle. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.

This is Beyond Gay. It doesnt even work there IS a glowstick in it.

If you watch close enough before it zooms in on the spoon full of baking soda you can see the front of the label on the bottle that says mountain dew. When it zooms out you can see his hand coming from the bottle and its now on the ingredient side of the bottle. He had to have switched the bottles.
October 7th, 2007 at 6:34 pm
ya i agree i just tryed it. it doesnt work
October 7th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
This is a fake . . . this will not work. They switch Mountain Dew with a small amount of luciferase/luciferin (the stuff in glowsticks) - the baking soda catalyzes the luciferase and peroxide oxidizes it (making it glow).

Bastard made me waste a perfectly good bottle of mt. dew. I hope the fleas of 10,000 camels infest davids ball sack.
October 7th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
This doesn’t work. We just tried it 2nite.
it wasn’t even close to glowing.
October 7th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
DOES NOT WORK. FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 7th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
I tried it three times it dosent work.
October 8th, 2007 at 12:12 am
ugh this again huh, FAKE, if you believe this you have absolutely no knowledge in chemistry. put a glow stick in then it will work.
October 8th, 2007 at 10:24 am
definitely a hoax, but a really good one!
the idea of adding in the glowstick juice does have interesting potential for halloween…
October 9th, 2007 at 5:45 pm
i tried it and it didnt work i did all the stuff you said any suggestions
October 9th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
losers damit
October 10th, 2007 at 8:20 am
It works. Just add a tiny bit of baking soda. Barely enough to cover the tip of the spoon. And besides, if you watch the video, the is no way a glowstick was inside, You would’ve heard rattling. Besides, the MD glows when you pour it on the ground anyway. and he wouldn’t have been able to add the contents of a glue stick inside because it would’ve started glowing before he shook it. Now shut the fuck up and do it right BITCHES.
October 10th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Well Ive attempted to make the glowing dew a few times. It just for some reason DOES NOT work! Im going to go buy a glow stick and throw it in there really carefully being that they are also activated when shook! I wont tell the people Im trying to fool about there really being a glow stick in the mix because Id rather them all waste money on my fake recipe and then come yelling back at me that IT DOESNT WORK!!!
October 15th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
yeah this is fake……..tryed it 3 times before i srollled down and saw the other messages……..f**ked up a pefectly good day…..
October 15th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Its actually partially true, there is peroxide in the mix. There is no baking soda but a chemical and a dye that are in a powder form that react when put together and shaken. He probably already had the mixture and put it in the baking soda to make it look real. Theres no way you can mix peroxide and baking soda to get the effect of a glow stick cmon you guys.
October 16th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Experts say this works. I did it and it worked. Try it again and stop bitching damnit. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DO IT RIGHT!
October 16th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
You just keep embarassing yourself don’t ya Leo? take a chemistry class ya fuckin idiot!
October 17th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Fake. Agent from a glow stick added to the mix. Check out a recreation at

This urban legend has been debunked.

To make a glowing solution, mix the first 3 ingredients. These are powdered, and not only are they nearly like baking soda, but visually indistinguishable from it. make enough to replace a good amount of baking soda in the box.
then open your mountain dew, and replace the mountain dew with the remaining 4 ingredients, and recap the bottle. The flourescein dye will give the liquid roughly the same color as maontain dew. You can even use plain carbonated water if you want, as it will replicate the effervesence (fizzing) of mountain dew.
This way, it looks like you’re adding baking soda and peroxide to mountain dew. Shake it, and it will glow quite nicely.
4 g sodium carbonate
0.5 g ammonium carbonate
0.4 g copper sulfate pentahydrate
0.1 g flourescein dye
0.2 g luminol
approx. 1 litre of distilled water.
50 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide

Cut open a glowstick and add it thats what i do.
October 22nd, 2007 at 2:03 am
well, i think its better if he will give us more information like, if the maountain dew needs to be cold or warm, because i have read an article that if its cold even a glow stick will not glow that much, because it has a different chemical reaction when its cold or warm, but i tried it though but the dew i cold and it wont work, ill try it again and see if it glows if the dew is not cold, theres no harm in trying, and if it will not work, youre not gonna lose anything.
October 22nd, 2007 at 4:00 pm
wow when he gets the baking soda the mountain dew is turned the other way which means he switched the bottles with luciferase/luciferin or thecrap in glow sticks and the baking soda made it not glow but the peroxide made it glow anyways do it again and let us see the bottle when ur doing baking soda
October 22nd, 2007 at 4:02 pm
for people that think he put a glowstick in it like a whole one ur retarded he poured it on the ground
October 22nd, 2007 at 9:46 pm
OMFG it DOES work you nimrods. I made sure I had exactly 1/4 inch and 3 perfect caps of perox. If its not perfect it wont work!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
Wtf dude i tried this 5 times this crap does not frickin work so “DAVID” you should be stung by a thousand scorpians because of all the little kids imaginations you have shattered including mine and my little brothers
October 28th, 2007 at 2:32 am
1st - Leo, you have issues… as well as the rest of you who encourage others to keep trying.
2nd - Brilliant man is absolutely right, but his formula will only last for a few minutes before the solution fully oxidizes and it has a pH of about 11.5. Common glowsticks have an inhibiting compound that makes the reaction last longer.
Answer: open a glowstick “be careful not to break the inner glass tube, and add the liquid into a jar. Then add the H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) and voila! It Glows!!!
P.S. - Look at the bottle’s label before the camera pans in on the teaspoon of baking soda, and then afterwards. It has been moved… or should I say replaced. Sorry to those of you who tried this!
October 30th, 2007 at 10:31 am
While the ingrediants are correct, you need to add dish washing soap and cut off the top of a glow stick and get the little glass ting inside. Then you put all that into the mountain dew and shake really hard and hope to break the glass, thus making it glow. -Truth

dude, what the fuck is this? i could tell you it doesn’t work because I
FUCKING DID IT!!!
November 10th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
you idiots!!! you have to use .15% peroxide for it to work
November 14th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
This will definately not work!, Even if you warm it up alittle in the microwave. Enough said!
November 15th, 2007 at 8:26 am
What the fuck! We are missing the most important ingredient, “Pussy Juice from Dave’s Mom”
This shit is a fuckin hoax, I tried this three times, and a complete waste of mountain dew. Now I have to figure out what the fuck to do with a bottle of peroxide and full box of baking soda! Any ideas post them as a comment. Kunichiwa bitches!
November 15th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
I’m a grad student, and I’ve done labs with florescence several times:
1. Luminol is the best way to activate a dye in solution
while…
2. Glowstickking it would be the cheapest/easiest
3. The reason it will work is due to the peroxide activating the yellow dye in the soda, while the baking soda does nothing, to create the luminescence, they mixed a polar compound (which is water+salts in the bottle) and Betine which can be found in some cleaning products and most body washes. Put a half cup of green AXE in the bottle, plus a third mtn dew, then add the peroxide, (3 caps), and vwalla, i did it a few times and it turns out just like the video.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
hey i did it by the way he did, and i did have some residual glow, but it was where just baking soda and peroxide met, then was wetten by the mountain, that was really all we got a minor glow.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
i tried it twenty times, six out of that did have residual glow, using the same exact ingredients. but it is missing the kicker which really makes it light up, and richard is on to that its betine, i haven’t tried it yet, but i am betting it makes it really light up.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:25 pm
i am just a retard though
December 1st, 2007 at 11:39 pm
well i tried exactly how i saw it in the video. But it never worked, it was probably because my baking soda was too old already to be used and also my peroxide. At first when i tried it i was so anxious to do it and i added all the ingredients, i started shaking it and nothing happend.
IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:43 pm
I tried it and it didnt work SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2008 at 11:53 am
well, i tried, twice, no result, my guess is that it has something to do with that whole glow stick thingy, i dunno, i’ma gonna go look this stuff up, and that, i think that the only reason why mountain dew is involved is cause the whole green part of the liquid,i have no clue, but some other site mentioned replacing baking soda with bleach and matchstick heads??? anyone got any ideas on that?
January 3rd, 2008 at 12:16 pm
and this whole bull shit abouts the “exact amount” is bull, if any of you have taken chemisty at all, you would know about excess and limiting reactants, example
reactant + reactant = products, and probably a little left over of one of the reactants
this can be showen if you take the baking soda, put a good amount in a bowl, and add a little bit of viniger, still reacts right? theres some baking soda left over right?, thats the excess reactant, it wasn’t all reacted because the limiting reactant can be seen was viniger, all of it was used up
what i’m trying to say is that just because you have a little extra doesn’t mean that it won’t work, if that were true you would need to measure to the amount of atoms, not ounces, miligrams, whatever, nothing in this world would ever react if that were true, so thats all bull shit, there should have been at least some glow if it was like that, but hey guess what, i went in a dark room that i have (dads a photographer) totaly sealed off from light, shake shake shake, shake shake shake shake you dew, shake your dew, wtf??? no glo, what a surprise…..
January 4th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
im doing this for my science experiment so it better dang well work!!! cuz if the comments are true, i swear i will find u and personally kick ur ass!
January 14th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Okay…for those that have any questions…they DID NOT use baking soda but some kind of phosphorus compound. Baking soda doesn’t powder and has a grainy texture. I should know, I’ve been baking for almost 50 years! My husband and I also used to make archery sight pins that we dipped in paint with a glowing compound that was very powdery just like what the kid took out of the box.
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
It is a hoax but you can get it glowing. You need to add phosphorus to it.
I saw how to make a tomato glow, from a trusted source.
They took a couple of self light matchsticks and scrapped the tips into a test tube, and then added bleaching powder and water to it. Then they dissolved it nicely and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then you had some sediment settled at the bottom and clear liquid on top. They put it in a syringe, it was a tiny amount and it was glowing lightly.
Then they injected it into a tomato and then after that injected…guess what!!!….hydrogen peroxide into the tomato. The tomato started glowing.
I think if you did the same to a around 1/4 bottle of dew it should work.
There is a reason why the expirment I mentioned above was done on a tomato, something to do with what was inside the tomato that also had a part in the glow.
So i think adding the bleaching powder to the dew makes the the liquid just like the insides of a tomato.
So all you need to do is add the phosphorus solution.
I think anyone with a decent knowledge of chemistry will know exactly whether it is pure phosphorus that is a result of mixing matchstick tips with bleach.
I think you can directly add pure phosphorus.
Best of luck to anyone
This one is a hoax, to the sense that they did not tell you that they are adding phosphorus to it.

yo i dont know what u people are talking about….
i tried it and it worked just fine….
May 1st, 2008 at 12:34 am
OMG u r all fuckin retarded y in the fuck would somebody take the time to make th video and waste all that shit if it doesnt work! what do u think hes scheming to make u buy insane ammounts of mt dew or peroxide. just cause u cant do it doesnt mean it cant b done… can u fly a fuckin jet… ya thats what i thought…shut the fuck up
July 22nd, 2008 at 10:50 pm
1st of all joe shut the fuck up u shitty chink fuck and 2nd david u can go fuck yourself u piece of shit… u can kiss my black ass u mothr fuckr… idc wat the fuck joe says in your defense u r both pieces of shit… u can stick tht nice glowing bottle of shit right up ur pussies and in each othrs shitty assholes. adios puntas
