Well, upon further review it appears to be a myth. I wonder what was really used to make it glow like that?

I think this is the one where you soak a highlighter in water for a few days, then pull out the highlighter and put under a black light and it will glow like crazy, we used to do this to liquor bottles back in college.

Tried it and did not work I thought it would have been cool thing to do with the kids if it had worked.

I wonder what the deal was?

It was glowing before they turned the light off and you could tell there was no black light on.

It's a trick, it's really just a glow stick innards dumped into the bottle.

So does drinking water.

The chemilumicience you are viewing in that video has already been proven as a hoax.
