newtboysays...*nochannel
*science
With no explanation, there's no education or learning to be had, certainly no electronica, it has not been debunked, it's not magic, and it's probably not geeky.
A simple explanation that the electrodes interact with the acid to create a small electrical charge would have made a few of those tags proper, but this was more like "magnets....how do they work?" level education.

visionepsays...They've hooked up a power source to the orange which is why it is cooking as it sits there and starts spilling liquid on the table.
I was waiting for the reveal and disappointed that they didn't show what it was hooked up to.
greatgooglymooglysays...Chemical reaction, turns the orange into a battery. LEDs only need 1-3V to turn on so you don't need a very strong reaction. I noticed some of the pins are darker colors, Mr Glove probably dipped one leg in a dissimilar metal or another chemical so the electrons want to move from one pin to the other with the acidic juice as the electrolyte. Look up potato battery for similar experiments.
siftbotsays...Moving this video to cruciarch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
