Get Your Glow-in-the-Dark Produce Right Here!

The Russians may be onto something here. Instead of selling plain old radiation-free produce, they still have the glow-in-the-dark stuff showing up 20 years after Chernobyl (from Drudge):
Large quantities of radioactive produce still reach market stalls in Moscow from western Russia and Belarus, almost 20 years after the nuclear accident at Chernobyl, a local official told the AFP wire on Wednesday.

"Around 830 kilogrammes of radioactive produce was confiscated from Mocow markets in 2005," said Elena Ter-Martirossov, spokeswoman for Radon, the municipal authority which handles the capital's radioactivity security.

The figure for 2004 was 986 kilogrammes, around a tonne in 2003, three tonnes in 2002, and 1.5 tonnes in 2001, she said.

"Most of it comes from markets and consists of mushrooms and berries" from regions affected by the April 1986 explosion in Chernobyl, Ukraine.
At least with this stuff, if the light is burned out in the fridge, it's no problem.
