Bananas are extremely cool in black light, especially around their spots, which have deposits of phosphors. Banana spots glow in leopard-like patterns under black light. Chlorophyll glows red, and vaseline glows blue. Tonic water glows in black light. Vitamin A and the B vitamins thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin will all glow under black light, especially if they’re soaked in vinegar. Simply grind up vitamin tablets, soak them in a little vinegar, and either leave them around or serve them as salad dressing.
I know that the B-vitamins fluoresced, but not bananas. Now I need to check this out.
“Paper is treated with phosphorous, as are white clothes and laundry detergents. These added phosphorous compounds help clothes and paper have a bright, marketable white glow.”
1) “Phosphorus” not “phosphorous.”
2) Confabulation of “phosphorus” with “phosphor.”
3) Bananas are obviously space alien sustenance of a species evolved around a white dwarf star who have taken to wearing two-gallon hats, the Peccadilloes.
