 ..Though you sure wouldn't want to actually drink it!

A glass full of concentrated laundry detergent with two fluorescent straws coming out of it, hit with a black light.

Hopefully this won't be considered DNMC, considering the black light actually electrically charges the fluorescent material, causing it to EMIT light.. So these fluorescent materials actually are illuminative subjects.

Cool and clever (my first thought was "don't drink the kool-aid!).

Very 1980s. All that's missing is a pair of glowing lips coming in from the right.

Nice detail and it looks like you put a lot of effort into the shot.

I really enjoy the minimalist appeal of this image. The subtle light and color changes are remarkable. One tiny little flaw with the red highlight at the bottom right of the glass, otherwise a wonderful image.
