Glow sticks were invented in the early 70s and were pretty available in the mid 80s. But I don’t remember them either (high school in the late 80s).
Comment on Did you do this at your highschool?

I don’t think glow sticks had been invented when I was in high school…actually, I take that back: my friend had some that she got from her father who was an engineer in some factory. They were not for general consumption back then.

We had to make due with lighting hay bales on fire.

Lighting a hay bale on fire in the road and emerging in a gorilla suit feels more menacing.

We didn’t even have hay bales, we would just set each other on fire.

I was skimming and I thought you just said “sticks” I was going to say you’re not old, your ancient.

You probably shouldn’t consume them now either.
