How can you forget drugs?

Highlighters
- Highlighters, especially yellow ones, glow under black light. This can be especially fun for body art, because the yellow highlighter often doesn't show up on skin in regular lighting-- only under the black light.

Glowing Teeth
- A lot of people's teeth glow under black light. I bet it's because of whitening toothpaste, unless it's the fluoride compound that glows!
