After about 30 seconds, you won’t really see the glow in a well lit room. The glowrings are very cool looking when they are charged up, but this bright glow drops off quickly. Watch manufacturers like Luminox use tritium in their watches for the hour markers and hour/minute/second hands. Although not shown here, Jamie also offers tritium inserts which are “self lighting gas vials” that glow on their own without the need of charging from an external light source. Order by 2pm Eastern Time Monday-Friday and we ship most orders the same day. Flags are made of paper and attached to a 2.5' wood toothpick. Often yellows to reds can come from crushed beetle shells but they are non-toxic. For a while some Asian manufacturers were putting Melamine in milk candy as a whitener and they may still be doing this. Glowrings are essentially a special epoxy mixture saturated with an industrial glow powder, that requires a bright light to charge them to make them glow. Toothpick flags are packaged 100 to the box unless marked differently and each box is sealed in cellophane. You can always test the toothpicks by biking them in water and comparing the color of the toothpicks once dry to the original as they came ones. This is an optional feature that Jamie offers called glowrings. If you take a closer look at the toothpick on the Right, you’ll see that some of the grooves filled. He’ll even add an eyelet in the end if you want to use it as a sewing needle. If you check his Facebook page, you’ll find a gallery of all sorts of cool designs that he’s managed to come up with. You’ll notice the decorative ends that Jamie has created. The very end of the tip is blunt, so if you actually do use one to scrape something from your teeth, you won’t have to worry (too much) about stabbing your gums and needing a tourniquet around your neck.

The business end of the toothpicks are very pointy, but they aren’t needle sharp.
