Now, 'glow-in-the-dark' ice creams that light-up your taste buds even in blackouts

An Australian ice-cream parlour has for the very first time created "glow-in-the-dark" ice creams, that'll you have no problem eating even if there's a blackout.

Inspired by a co-owner Steve Felice's raver past, the offering of the Melbourne-based pop-up 196 Below is frozen using liquid nitrogen, made luminescent with UV-reactive food dye and comes in three flavours: raspberry, pine-lime and mango passion fruit, Stuff.co.nz reported.

On top of that, the Neon Nitro Ice Creams are dairy free, preservative free vegan, and the dish is perfectly safe for all to eat, with the unique colouring certified by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The neon treat, which was unveiled at Melbourne's White Night festival, has been priced at NZ8.80 dollars a serving.

Felice said that he used to make party clothes out of neon material in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the positive feedback got him thinking it could be more.
