• They spark in the dark.

• They contain sugar crystals.
• The crystals have a positive charge on one side and a negative charge on the other.

5.  Someone saw a spark.  I didn’t see anything.  We went into the utility closet.  It was dark in there.

6.  My hypothesis was right. They have a special ingredient.  The wintergreen lifesavers have a chemical that makes it glow blue.  There has to be no light or little light and you bite on it hard.  This crushes the sugar crystals.
