glow bracelets

Bendable light tubes

Glow bracelets are flexible plastic tubes containing chemicals that produce light when mixed.

Bending the bracelet breaks an inner vial, triggering a reaction that glows for several hours.

They're fixtures at concerts, raves, and Halloween: The kids waved their glow bracelets in the dark.

Also called glow sticks when straight rather than looped.
