    Somehow I figured out that leaving a glow stick in the freezer prolongs the light emission. I was probably 6 when I figured this out. Amazing how we used to pick up on things so easily back then. Now we need detailed instructions for everything lol

      Finally ! Somebody that knows what I'm talking about ! If you want them to last for more than merely a few hours ,all you need to do is to leave them in the freezer for some time.

    Back in the day when I was a kid in the 80's and 90's I would go into skating rinks and before I would go I would be given a glow stick of my choosing. I chose a blue one. This is one of my favorite memories growing up.

    I have a question. I opened up a glow stick because I was doing a science report on them and I wanted to show the glass tube. In the video, she says the glass tube contains hydrogen peroxide solution and the outer liquid is Phenyl oxalate ester. When i opened mine however, it seemed to be the other way around. the outside liquid was clear ( like hydrogen peroxide) and the glass tube was colored. Is this normal??
