Pickle Light Bulb

Did you know that you can make a pickle light bulb? No, this isn’t one of my goofy jokes either. You can seriously make a pickle glow like a light bulb by plugging it straight into a wall socket. Regardless how “cool” this is, I wouldn’t recommend anyone trying this at home.

Keep in mind, you are dealing with LIVE AC! Use common sense and all possible caution! I grabbed ahold of one of the wires while discussing it in front of a group of Physics Pholks at Rutgers a few years back and got a rude awakening! Made the demo much more interesting for the audience, but ruined my day (not to mention my shorts...).
