Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4367977, member: 11664"] Watch & learn about Lifesaver lightning which you're only able to see with Wint-O-green Lifesavers candy. [MEDIA=youtube]tW8q_JfmcbU[/MEDIA] "When this happens with most sugars, the light is largely ultraviolet, which you aren't able to see with a naked eye. However, wintergreen flavoring, as highlighted by Cool Science, "is a natural fluorescent dye called methyl salicylate." It creates a brighter, longer-lasting flash of light after absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it in a way you can see."

The active ingredient in wintergreen oil, methyl salicylate, is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. As such, [B]products containing wintergreen oil are often used as an anti-inflammatory and topical pain reliever [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.healthline.com/health/wintergreen-oil[/URL][/B] What flavor lifesaver makes a spark?

Methyl salicylate absorbs ultraviolet light in the same spectral region as the lightning emissions generated by the sugar. The methyl salicylate electrons become excited and emit blue light. Much more of the wintergreen emission than the original sugar emission is in the visible region of the spectrum, so wintergreen light seems brighter than sucrose light. Triboluminescence is related to piezoelectricity. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/wintergreen-lifesavers-blue-light-triboluminescence-slow-motion-video[/URL] [/QUOTE]
