Twice I've bought those glow in the dark stars and twice they never work. I've never felt so dumb. It surely shouldn't be that hard?
I think it's because we expect them to work as well as the ones we had plastered all over our bedroom ceilings back in the 80's... which of course were likely full of chemicals that would have a snowflake's chance in hell of meeting any modern safety standards!
I mean hey, they looked great when I was 9, and the fact that I now glow in the dark all by myself is just a cool side-effect =)
I want to get one of those star projector things, Seems like it'd be a lot easier.
Housemate bought one and it is so cool, my own glow in the dark stars can't even compete.
Oooh!! What one did they buy? I keep eyeing them off but also expect them to be shit, lol.
I want one too!!
Just this one off Amazon.
Thank you for the link!!
Ooh me too!
They need a ridiculous amount of exposure to direct light in order to even vaguely work. Does it glow momentarily when you shine a bright torch light at it for a few seconds?
