if you want to use them as an emergency "strobe" as it where for signaling heli's, tape a piece of corgade with nots tied into it for grip 3/4 the way down, make sure its secure, when needed just crack of off, then swing around in the air or by your side.......
this wizzing glow stick forms a light disc the length of the cordage thats swinging, no chance your going to miss that at night, and it wont break or the betteries die just when you need it.....
also the "filling" of them is oil so thats why its hard to get out of things, a good wash with detergent should remove most of it though........and yes i was one of those ideots who drank it, by the time it passed through my body i was to drunk to notice any change.......lol......
i dont recammend you drink the stuff though as the vile you brake inside is glass...............
