    This is probably old news but it was news to me so I thought I would
    pass it on.

    You know those fluorescent tubes you get sold at firework displays and
    such and they fade away by the next day.

    You can regenerate them by popping them in the freezer and "cracking"
    them again....

    or so I've been told.

    I think you may be mistaken about that.

    I'm testing some in the freezer and see how that goes.

    unless your freezer can seperate the active ingredients and re
    assemble the glass inner tube and fill it back up with the activator
    liquid, then maybe yes

    Is it going to be heartbreaking to discover that you've been lied to?

    No, not really....

    interesting idea "heartbreaking", you're life must a path of roses if
    you consider a £1 toy not coming back to life as in the heartbreaking
    zone... good luck to you.

    It'd be nice, but it doesn't work.

    The glowsticks work by chemical reaction, and it's a one-way thing. You
    can speed it up (make them brighter) by heating them up, or slow it
    down by cooling them down.

    They usually have a bit of residual glow the next morning, so if you
    froze them the night before they might appear to "regenerate", but
    that's only because it's dark and you don't remember how bright they
    were.

    If you want to get some at much cheaper prices,
    www.theglowcompany.co.uk are good IME.
