Do wonders ever cease?

Do Polo Mints emmit light when snapped?

I'd heard the statement before but assumed it was an urban myth and thought that Mythbusters would cover it in good time I ignored it until Ben mentioned that they do whilst on our canal boat holiday.

Curious to see if they did I decided to try for myself, I also bought the extra strong variety to see if there was more light given off by them.

So, do polo mints emmit light when snapped...?

...yes!

Not much but they do give off a tiny amount of light. How cool is that? Who found out first? Can they solve the worlds energy crisis? Is April going to get a back full of polo mint crumbs next time she stays round mine?

Stay tuned to find out!
