This is a good way to scare, confuse, dazzle, or kill your friends and family, but make sure they don’t eat the kiwi (unless you ARE trying to kill them, witch I would advise against).
What you need:
- Bleach (not much)
- A box of strike anywhere, high phosphorus matches
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- A tomato
- A syringe (or two)
Take the heads off of the matches (I squish them with plyers, but be carefull not to ignite them, because they are "strike anywhere"), and put them in a small container (preferably one with a lid).
Add enough bleach to submerge them completely, and shake or stir up the mixture until the match heads are completely disolved.
Let the mixture sit for a good twenty minutes, until it separates into two visible layers (liquid and solid).
Use the syringe to extract the liquid layer, and inject it into the tomato.
Now use the other syringe (if you have another syringe, otherwise just rinse out the old one and use it again) to inject hydrogen peroxide into the tomato every few centimetres until it starts to glow.
You will now have an apparently (but not really) radioactive tomato to throw, dissect, blow up, or commit murder with! (I accept no responsibility if you’re stupid enough to go with the last one).

Some brands of matches work better than others, you can check their phosphorus content with a UV light (they will glow brightly if they’re high in phosphorus), or try using using other things that are high in phosphorus, or even just steal some straight phosphorus from the lab at your high school (but I can’t guarantee your particular school will have it).

Jan 11, 2008 1:58 pm - If anyone lives in the states, which you probably all do, you should put one of these in a shoe box, wrap it in duct tape, and leave it on someones doorstep. Everybody’s so fucking paranoid over there... I’m sure it would be quite amusing.
