Stupid fun with blacklights

I was telling my (younger) husband about how stupid my generation was about blacklight posters back in the 70s. So, for fun, I got a little flashlight that has a blacklight bulb in it, to see what lights up these days under that.

I don't know what has happened since the 70s, but a whole bunch more products are black-light friendly than before. Some of the stuff is crazy. Sure, I expected highlighters and tennis balls to light up like they did in the old days (and they still do). But here are a few of the things that went neon, just in the immediate area of my computer desk (in my bedroom) that I didn't expect:

"Neon" color hair scrunchies, and most of my brighter hair clips.

Every single correction tape/stamper case I have, except for the 70s-avocado green panda stamper. Even the "plain" white Kokuya Campus correction case lights up pink. Weird!

The "used" stickers on books from my local independent book store.

Both water bottles, different companies, have fluorescent qualities to the logos, labels and the elastic grip.

Neon nail polish. I'm currently wearing a neon orange polish that looks like it's on fire under black light. I pulled out my other neon polishes and put the light on them there in the bottle--same thing. Well, I wanted bright nail polish--I got it!

And the weirdest one of all? The purple handle on a bottle of base coat. It glows as orange as my nails. This is what it normally looks like:



How that turned fiery orange, I have no idea.

Does anyone else here do stupid things like this when you're bored?
