I do not recommend eating a glow stick, I’m pretty sure they are toxic and specifically tell you not to eat them.

I don’t think so – the glowing part of the glow stick is the liquid inside, so if you ate it and chewed then that would get in your mouth and then be swallowed and in your stomach – you can’t see things that are in your stomach, so the only part of you that would glow would maybe be your teeth, but only until you brushed them. Overall I think it would most likely make you sick!

The chemicals inside are irritants – so your mouth would feel rather sore, and you’d probably get an upset tummy. There is often a small glass vial inside which breaks when you bend it so the chemicals can mix, so that’s also dangerous. You wouldn’t glow – you’d just be rather unhappy!
(I’ve also been told they taste awful, by someone who accidentally bit through one).
