Anyone buy a drink with the glow cube?

DD thinks this would be cool, but are you able to turn it off so you can use it later, or is it on until it dies?

They have a little button to turn them off. We have a bunch of them in our freezer now. Some still working 4 years later.

I'll add-
The glow Tinkerbells also have a button, but don't last as long.

Wow!!! That's good to hear! What a great picture by the way, she's so cute.

I haven't seen or heard about the Tinkerbell. I wonder if its still available?

Thanks!

Yeah, our nieces got Ariel glow at Ariel's Grotto, Pirate and Tinkerbell glow at Blue Bayou, and DH's drink came with the cube at Blue Bayou.

The Tinkerbell just clips to the side of the glass. They still have them.
My DD clipped one on her school backpack a few years ago. It only flashed a few days. (Although I don't really know if she was turning it off much).

Thank you. That was from Mother's Day. It was a Mint Julep from Blue Bayou. They have the Louisiana Lemonade now, too. They will put a glow cube in anything there (for an extra fee... I think it was $3)

Yes, you can turn off the cube and use it later at home. I got one at Aulani in a cocktail.

I love to creep my wife out and turn it on in a glass of water at night when the lights are off, it's fantastic!

You can buy more from the company website on the bottom of the cube:

I don't think they need to be stored in the freezer. Mine work fine and I keep them in a drawer. Do they even get cold in the freezer? I think they're decorative, not function, as on, they don't really chill your drink. I put shot glasses on mine at parties. Parties with adult beverages.

I honestly have never thought about it. We just keep them with our other decorative ice cubes (that do freeze), but now that I think about it there really isn't a reason to keep them there. I'm not going to move them though. We have gotten a ton of use out of them. Most are 2 to 4 years old. A few we got within the last year. I really didn't expect them to last this long. We have over 30 of them and I have only had 2 go bad.

I have a small collection that are years old and work just fine. When we have parties with our friends we put the glow cubes in the "buckets" that have ice and hold beer and wine. They really light up the ice/water and it looks really neat.

I was actually going to say something about being in the freezer too, but I think (IIRC) the freezer actually keeps the batteries longer.
