Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First, let me get the details out of the way. They are indeed glow sticks, and light when you bend them. They are very bright and last a very long time. Now the important stuff. We issue these to all children on camping trips as "toys" to play with after dark. What they are really used for is to track said children in the night as they romp around the campsite. Please don't tell them or their interest in glow sticks will wane. For now interest is high, and color choice is crucial. In my very unscientific testing, children under the age of 10 prefer red, then blue, there is a tie at green and yellow with white being the last chosen every time. This is of course ONLY when each child is allowed to pick in a vacuum and does not know the color the other children have chosen. When chosen in a non-controlled environment, then the color choice is either, A: the one you just ran out of, or B: the one someone else has "that had that one before, all the time", and the choosing child never gets that magical color. The only constant in this scenario is white finally gets a chance to be the preferred color assuming it was chosen by some other child first. White also has a chance to "be favorite" when there is a chance to get two glow sticks. Yep, I said it, two glow sticks. Two glow sticks trumps color choice in 87.5% of the scenarios. The bottom line is you need these. But, you need them at a color to kid ratio that far exceeds societal norms. Don't say you haven't been warned...
