What happens if you put some of the cheap oil in a different container and then shine it with the torch?

Hey. I wondered about that, too! Because of the slightly green tinted bottle.

Used about 1 fluid ounce, first in a 'Schnapsglas(s)', then in 2 different plastics. In an otherwise dark room.

Still pinkish shine, but different hue. Hard to tell because the light is so BRIGHT and I didn't want to use more oil in other containers. Just what I needed for cooking anyways ATM ;-)

This is science. Do it first before you bring the torch to the supermarket ;)
