Everyone Needs this in their Car

Everyone needs a few of these glow sticks in their car. Flashlight batteries die in cold, and heat, but these don't. Just bend then and you have light for about eight hours. They cost about a buck eack, I'm putting like ten in the trunk maybs a few in the glove.
The left is a white one that isn't broken, the right is... You guessed it! green, and its lit for the learning impaired.

I've used these for years in the outdoors. Just break a couple of them just before sun down, set them out, and later around midnight when it's completely black outside, these things really glow. Of course they mark the trail to the restroom or back to the car so you don't have to use the flashlight.

Aren't there two different types: the regular long lasting ones and the shorter high-intensity ones? You can get them from Target.

There I was minding my own business when an alien beamed in and tried to kill me! I brutally sliced that reptillian skin to shreds... however before he died he said he was going to take over Earth and enslave mankind! I called the Air Force but they said they were already on the case. I don't have much faith in them. Apparently my trusty CL-S and I are Earth's only hope! Provided my tranny doesn't fail. here is a picture of the scene here I tortured the feind...

I like those glow-sticks...

Off topic sidetrack warning (sorry)...

I am still trying to find a brand of flashlight with an electro-chemically activated battery that would run for a total of 3 hours, but they would last in the cold and heat of a glove box for over 30 years!

Some "helpful" pedestrian smashed in my side window in my Bimmer to grab about a dollar in pennies, nickels, and dimes and probably decided the light would be handy for tallying-up his big score

If anyone sees a flashlight that does the following, please let me know:

1. The one I had needed to have the top of the flashlight turned clockwise and it would take 30-seconds to reach full intensity.

2. Its length was a bit less than 2-D cells

3. The battery's 3-hour max life was not diminished by using the unit in "spurts"

TIA

Isn't that some sort of health hazard? :P
