Glow Stick Xylophone



So cool! Glow stick xylophone. Put the glow sticks in cups of water and an aura comes off in the dark, when you tap them. Gotta try this!


There's not a whole lot to say about this one.  I mean, if you click through the Pin (which goes to the old version of the blog, but the new version has this disclaimer as well), the author herself states, "THE AURA IS JUST A CAMERA EFFECT!!!!!!"  Yes, in all caps.  Yes, with six exclamation points.  You can feel how tired she is of fielding questions about why someone else's glowstick xylophone didn't work like this.

So it begs the question - when someone read this and pinned it originally, did they just have bad reading comprehension, or did they deliberately mislead everyone by pinning a supercool picture and a pretty ridiculous (but apparently in the realm of "just believable enough") explanation?  I'm aware that the internet is full of trolls, I just didn't expect them to frequent mommy blogs and find pictures like this upon which to wreak their havoc.  

Anyway, as the creator of this picture very correctly asserts, "THE AURA IS JUST A CAMERA EFFECT!!!!!!" so stop bothering her about why your glowstick xylophone didn't shoot up auras upon being played.
