As a youngster during winter I was told that when I ate my bowl of 'Readybrek'(porridge to the less fortunate)you would glow orange like the guy on the packet. When I asked my mum why none of my fiends could see I was told this is because only adults could see it. After a 20 minute car ride to school I was always told that it had worn off so none of the teachers could see it either so don't ask. Got me for years, obviously my siblings will be told this one too.
