Look at that - that bright red cherry sitting on top of your sundae.
It's not really even intended to be a food item - it's edible (allegedly), but that's not what it's for.
It's to attract ATTENTION.
Well, let's help it out a bit, shall we?
The dish or glass in which the sundae is served
can have a small clip-on device attached, which contains a simple red laser pointer. Powered by three watch batteries, it can run for hours - far longer than the lifetime of the sundae. Just turn it on and aim at the cherry. (If the skin is too reflective, you might need to peel a small spot to get more light inside the cherry.)
There - that strugglingly red cherry on top turns into a veritable beacon.
Now it's got your attention.

Alternatively, some hafnium might do the trick. |

It's the finishing touch, [lurch]. Bun! [+] |

Insufficient beam energy to cause the cherry to ignite [-] |

Like it - this could be productised along with cherry recognition software and sold to bakeries and the like in order to liven up their cupcake displays. Who could resist the allure of a cherry that's been professionally brightened by light amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation? |

Cheaper alternative: embed red LED inside cherry, with leads wrapped around stem leading to battery. Avoids need for light to "get inside" cherry. Infinite lifetime of cherry means its reusable. |
