## The story

Blacklight Bears were made for the kid whose basement had the purple bulb. In regular light they looked like plain gummies. Under the blacklight they lit up electric green and pink, and suddenly a sleepover felt like a laser show. Everyone ate them with their mouths wide open just to watch their teeth glow too.

## Fun fact

Kids hid one in a dark closet to see if it would glow on its own, and checked on it every night for a week.
