Have you ever seen the "light" if you tear open the little package in a dark place?

...it's kind of cool...but I'm easily amused...

If you don't know what I'm talking about...quickly tear open the strip package in a dark place.

This definitely has nothing to do with theme parks, so I've moved this thread to the Community Board.

I have!!! It happens when you open band-aids, too! hehe

I learned something new today!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated when material is pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed (see tribology) through the breaking of chemical bonds in the material. The phenomenon is not fully understood, but appears to be caused by the separation and reunification of electrical charges. The term comes from the Greek τριβείν (to rub) and the Latin lumen (light). Triboluminescence can be observed when breaking sugar crystals (especially Wint-O-Green Life Savers) and peeling adhesive tapes.

I totally know what you mean. The first time I noticed it I thought it was odd...now it is kind of fun!

I love to turn off the lights in the bathroom just to do this...I have to turn them back on to get the strip on right though.
