I propose a new law for retailers, if they sell a product that claims to glow in the dark, they must turn off the lights to test the product.

My proposal comes from a recent shopping trip. I found a ball, and written on it was ‘GLOWS IN THE DARK’. Now a ball that glows in the dark is very useful, especially for people who refuse to stop playing despite the darkness.

I soon found a shop assistant and requested that she turns the lights off so I can test the claim of this ball.

She said she couldn’t. I didn’t buy it. But I still wonder if the ball does really glow in the dark?
