	Glowing Pickle - http://isaac.exploratorium.edu/~pauld/activities/aaptelectric/glowingpickle.html Two enhancements to the standard demonstration apparatus: using a ground fault interrupt (GFI) to reduce the risk of electrocuting the demonstrator, and using potassium chloride (a dietary salt substitute) to produce a pink glow rather than the traditional sodium yellow. Also discusses the mechanism of the single-ended glow.
