Thread: Black light food coloring? Need advice

Tweet

I was really surprised last year (my first blacklight year) at what glowed and what didn't - some white stuff looked amazing, some didn't flouresce at all. A black & white melamine plate looked AWESOME, a black and white ceramic did nothing.

Tonic water did glow, and some of the labels, but none of the other liquor we had (and there was a lot: http://www.heatherscreativelife.com/...ising-bar.html + all the "leftovers" we had from other events )

Midori, tonic water and mountain dew.

Yes, you can get neon colored food dye from the grocery store!

Yeah, but does that fluoresce under black light?

It would be great if the food coloring works, but in my garage I've found that pens and paints labeled neon are not UV reactant at all. Only about half the flourescent markers I tried are actually reactive under blacklight. I 've seen the neon food coloring at Easter, but haven't been able to find any recently to test.
