They're better than shiny, do you need a reason?

I swore I bought these last time but the order apparently never went though, so I got them this time.

In for 3 because it wouldn't be worth the shipping otherwise.

Such a shame then that The Cheat is grounded.

But if they eat them, it will make going for walks in the yard at night so much more festive... and shoe friendly.

Bought 3 boxes a few weeks ago & gave them out with the candy on Halloween. They went over very well.

Freeze them before you use them.

Thanks for the warning! Luckily she isn't a chewer and shes old and doesn't have all of her teeth. But yeah, I would want to make sure they couldn't get loose. The neighbors dog sometimes likes to make an appearance. I can see him grabbing hold of it to mess with her.

Many uses.... and for 2.99, why not? In for 1.

They did, about 3 weeks before Halloween. I handed them out :p, and strangely enough, so did someone else in the neighborhood!

I'm in for 3, IF I can find out how these are being shipped. USPS or SmartPost or FedEx Ground. It really does make a difference b/c we don't get mail delivery in this area (strange but true). Anyone? Anyone?

Strong Bad is the real culprit. Just saw him with 3 Barges of Corn . . .

I got these last time they were on Kids Woot. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with 48 glow sticks. Ended up giving them out for Halloween. It was a pain to clip the strings on. Also the string attaches to a separate cap. For a few of the sticks the caps kept falling off but overall, pretty happy with them.

Wait - they BURNED??!!!

In for THREE!!

I am SO hoping you either got the Raven T-shirt or hoodie, because obviously you like shiny things, as well!

Not that they're shiny, just that you sound like someone who would appreciate that. You know, because ravens like shiny things.

You and me both. My compound thanks you, woot!

Buy 3, strap them to your ceiling fan. Enjoy your $13.97 rave.

kippyj wrote:Freeze them before you use them.

Why would that work?

You can tape these to your Glock and save $35!

heyjoie wrote:-So- tempted to bring my total count of glow sticks purchased at Woot to 144.

I did. I still have the 72 from the last time they were on here. Wish I could order more.

Lower temperature slows the chemical reaction. They'll glow longer but dimmer if they're cold. As long as they're kept cold.

Any jugglers out there? I am thinking about buying a set and then juggling in the dark with them. Well, I can juggle 4 clubs pretty well, so this might work out... Although I already purchased two Woot orders today, not sure what my limit ought to be for one day. I regularly juggle fire, so this might not be necessary. But maybe I will juggle fire and let other people have their hands on these... might be fun.

No clue. Someone told me about it once and it seems to work well. I'm an English major, not science ;)

Just in time for Halloween.

2012.

Be careful about letting pets eat them, they are not toxic in small quantities but my cat munched into one and frothed at the mouth for a few hours...

The System! Is Down. Doo do doo doooo!

Bought three last Woot off - I think my kids have used only two, and that was on halloween. We separated them all out into colors and plan on giving away the red (pink) and green ones as favors at our kids' Christmas party.

Handy for the Zombie Apocalypse... 3

I learned to juggle with silk scarves. Suddenly, it was easy...not sure if that helps, but I can juggle stuff now.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY BOUGHT AND USED THEM BUT STILL NO ONE COMMENTED ON HOW LONG THEY GLOW FOR ??????????????????????????

What happens when they warm? Mine seemed fine.

In for 3 on 3 accounts...just like last time...makes for a total of 432 glow sticks.

These work great for designating triage areas during Mass Casualty incidents at night for fire and EMS people. Or for identifying patient severity or personnel responsibilities.

Love these!

I picked up some just recently when they came up and they were excellent!

whatsmypassword wrote:Wish these came out before Halloween. Would have made great treats for the kiddies.

They did come out before Halloween, I had 72 on hand to hand out to the kids that came trick or treating. They were a treat, you have no idea how excited these kids were to get their hands on glow sticks =)

Bought three last time; sewed a bunch to a vest and went to a Halloween costume contest as a Lite Brite. Still had enough for Halloween. Only had two (2) trick-or-treaters, so I still have ten packs left. In other words, sorry, don't need another 72.

Actually, I've seen at least two other responses. I will add mine as well - They lasted several hours for me and were reasonably bright.

Gave these out for Haloween. In for 3 more!!

Mormons ... gotta add them to the apocalyptic supply back in the pantry.

Okay, first of all, you don't need to yell...take off your caps lock. Second, evidently we may have missed your question. Mine lasted about four hours. I kept them in the freezer until ready for use. Other w00ters may have different scenarios.

Absolutely the best Woot! since the screaming monkey!!!
