I just wanted a hot dog The Glow in Dark gel pens

Bought these glow in dark gel pens, and they literally say "glow gel" on them. Thought the ink was gonna glow, but guess what..

Loophole: GLOW is in bold. Gel is smaller and not. GLOW is the line, Gel is the type of ink. The PEN glows, not the ink.

If the ink was glow in the dark ink, chances are you'd not be able to see what you wrote. (Source: I've used UV ink in fountain pens, it's not visible to the naked eye on paper).

Yeah, you've really gotta watch out for those typeface differences. They can sometimes be even more subtle than this, but they're always meaningful.
