Lol! It glows naturally from the quinine - if you shine a UV light in your fridge you’ll be shocked at all the weird foods that glow naturally!

Oof, tonic water is not an ingredient I'd usually want in my pie lol. Do you have to add a bunch of salt to it to counteract the bitterness, or is just a tiny splash of quinine in the mix enough to make it glow like that?

It only really works well with strong citrus flavours - lots of sugar and salt cut the bitterness and paired with something light and sweet like the almond frangipane makes the whole thing work really well together!

So I get to eat something cool AND to die at the same time?! This deal sounds too good to be true.

If you are eating prepackaged food from the US you are pretty much dying 1 meal at a time anyway. All the crap they put in our food is deadly
