About the Cover:

The midnight refrigerator raider on this month's cover discovers the answer to the classic question: "Does the light go off when the door is closed?" The answer is "Yes, but the pickle turns on!" This humorous treatment of the glowing pickle demonstration is an introduction to a whole series of glowing vegetables presented in two articles starting on page 456 in this month's Tested Demonstrations feature.
