What Happened To Glow Sticks?

As far as I can recall, the final night of Pleasure Island was also around the final night of the use of glow sticks. Remember them? Those plastic fishing lures you broke the seal on, chemicals in the stick mixed together and created a neon green glow. When PI closed in 2008, that coincided with the end of the use of glow sticks by club kids. After PI we switched briefly to CityWalk and then downtown Orlando and have rarely seen anyone use them since then. Kids today just have no idea of the amazing looks you can create as you dance with glow sticks. As this year will be 15 years since PI closed and what is fashionable always runs in cycles, perhaps this is the year of the resurgence of glow sticks!
