The story · 1997

The story of Nightlight Pop

Nightlight Pop came in a bottle that soaked up light and glowed green in the dark. Kids charged them under desk lamps, then took them under the covers to read comics. The grape soda was ordinary, but the bottle was magic. Every sleepover had a moment where someone hit the light switch and the whole room went oooh.

Fun fact

Kids who kept their bottles on a windowsill reported a ghostly glow that lasted until about two in the morning.
