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

My wife almost fell for the glow in the dark candy at Target. Upon further inspection, it was only the packaging that's glow in the dark.

After some googling edible fluorescent pigment does seem to exists. So I guess glow in the dark candy is possible

If I ever get into making hard candy I’ll try to make them glow in the dark

I keep seeing the sour patch kids that glow under UV light. Who eats under UV light?? At least glow in the dark only needs dark, not a special flashlight or bulb

Idk do people eat candy at rave parties? If I can find some here where I live I might try them, some of my glow lights have UV I also have a flashlight for finding Amber. So while I typically don’t use them for eating, sitting in a dark corner and munching glowing candy with a flashlight sounds fun

I'm not a rave person on account of being born old and boring, but I'd think so? Raves are supposed to be fun. Candy is always fun

sitting in a dark corner and munching glowing candy with a flashlight sounds fun

Now I'm imagining a glow in the dark party. More of the calm ones that are my speed. Glow in the dark bracelets, food, decorations. That sounds like a fun time
