Glowing Duct Tape

Glowing Duct Tape
  This is a cool trick you can do with just duct tape. All you have to do is stick two sides of duct tape together and pull them apart! This produces an effect called triboluminescence. This same effect can be made by chewing wintergreen life savers.

This was NOT my idea, there are quite a lot of You Tube videos on it.
