PartySticks Glow Sticks Party Supplies 100pk - 8 Inch Glow in the Dark Light Up Sticks Party Favors, Glow Party Decorations, Neon Party Glow Necklaces and Glow Bracelets with Connectors

Read your reviews. I paid full price. As the reviews have stated about 90% work perfect, the other 10% are 1/2 dark or bubbly in different areas, and are inexpensive enough to ignore. There is a CERTAIN way of cracking these to light up. Slightly bend, then put your thumb underneath on one side and with pressure from the thumb, pull the stick across your thumb. This will also make your bubble go to one end. SHAKE VERY WELL. They will stay lit for different times. Usually hours for me, but of course they start having a little less of a glow as time goes on. Sometimes re-shaking them will work, most of the time it wont. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the eyes and sounds of your children using them. That is what they are there for. Enjoy. update: Im Santa every year for a few hundred children.. I go from Pre-schools to restaurants to nursing homes and give these out... They love them. This year I ordered several hundred, but Amazon doesnt seam to pack them correctly when ordered two at a time (they put them in a square box with little or no packing and many are already lit, thats Amazons fault, not the seller), so I order one (can) at a time. That way I receive them perfect working condition.

Nice long glow time and great value!

There were several duds & they aren’t as playable as others. Won’t buy again.

Great deal on these glow sticks

Everything went well.

We carry these everywhere during summer nights! Keeps the kids entertained and lasts for hours!

I knew these were not going to be top drawer for the price I was paying. I got them to give to a crowd to celebrate, and figured they were going to be good enough. They were almost good enough. The product was intact because the sticks fit fairly exactly in the packaging tube which was thick and generally good quality. This is something that they could have missed, and it gets them to three stars instead of two. The sticks themselves were very dim when activated, and require systematic breaking of the inner tube to get all the segments to light not-quite evenly. Small children, all supervised, found it easier than adults, probably from hand size. The children, in particular, appreciated the effect, and the adults mostly appreciated the effect on the children more than the glow sticks themselves. It worked out, though not as intended, for that reason. Would I buy these again? Yes, but I would be more careful to level set the crowds expectations before passing them out. If you have the ability to control the light levels, and it makes sense to do so, these will effectively be closer to four stars.

Weve been through nearly a hundred of these while camping in the woods and at music festivals. Theyre cheap enough and work fine. They add a little bit of fun for kids and adults alike.

As expected some worked better than others but none leaked. I used these to add to our Halloween candy bowl. The kids didnt like them as much as I thought they would; I had a lot of leftovers.

The kids loved it ! I was just disappointed that there were no blues!
