I have a payment card from cash app (which I never use but was given free money to get) that is glow in the dark! Took me about .003 seconds to realize in order for that card to actually glow in the dark it would have to be subjected to a light source for several minutes beforehand. Seeing as how I don't often keep a light in my wallet I have no idea what the hell they were thinking. There is no scenario in which I will ever pull out this card to pay for something and someone go "oh cool, it glows in the dark!" Unless I first say, "check this out... Just give me a minute here... Hang on... Ok, check it out, turn off the lights so I can pay."

I actually love this card for the conversation it provides. It's so stupid.

A small camera flash (bulb types) from old 35mm disposable cameras, will light up glow-in-the-dark things for a few seconds up to 1 minute.

They charge way faster under an a black light… not sure how that helps unless you’re going to the club in Blade… which, come to think of it, probably wouldn’t be great for the vampires. But it made for a cool ass movie, fight me!
