"Wint-O-Green Life Savers really will create sparks if you chew them in the dark. This phenomenon is known as triboluminescence, which is essentially light created by friction. The triboluminescence of sugar is like lightning on a very small scale. When you crush the candy with your teeth, the friction creates small flashes of light. While you can make faint sparks with other types of hard sugar candy, in the case of Wint-O-Green Life Savers, the effect is enhanced by the fluorescent quality of the wintergreen flavoring, resulting in brighter sparks with a bluish tint."
i'm so going to the store...
