Snaplights.

[donn]

Wondering if you could help me with something. Ive got a few snaplights/lightsticks that are pretty new. Unfortunately my mates 2 year old got to them the other day and removed all of them from their wrappers. It says that they should remain sealed until your ready to use them but I was wondering how vital this is. Would they still be ok if I say kept them out of sunlight in a dry box?
Cheers

Yes, generally speaking, or you could just re-wrap them in al-yoo-minium foil. The main thing is not to let them get bent.

The tiniest ones, about an inch long, are great in drinks mixed with clear liquors. Try not to bite them open, though, tastes quite icky. (Don't ask, it was the 80's)

Cheers

From what I recall (talking to ravers), they would take cracked sticks, put them in the freezer for future use, and recrack them at a future time.

For storing glowsticks that've been taken out of the packaging, it'd be best to place them somewhere air-tight and relatively cool (room temperature, or slightly under), because humidity will kill them if left out.
