What a great idea, madradish! :)
[Crayola], you didn't say how it's done, but there are a couple of ways. If it's a gel toothpaste, an internal battery and an LED near the nozzle would light things up. But I think you can use "light stick" technology. A system of tanks and valves can dispense the chemicals on demand, so the toothpaste begins to glow. That stuff is supposedly non-toxic.
It has the "delicious flavored toothpaste" problem -- the kids will use it all up instantly. In this case, by squirting the whole tube all over the floor, walls, etc. Of course, adults such as I will be doing that, too... + |

Also great for making sure the kids have actually brushed their teeth. |

The stuff inside glowsticks doesn't taste all that great, plus how will the glowstick stuff stay glowing? we all know that the stuff only lasts for about 8 hours (10 if your freeze it) in the tube. You'd have to crack your toothpaste to get it to glow. Hey, individual packets of the stuff, that would work, right? |

This sounds cool, but from my own experience, the glowstick fluid doesn't last too long in your mouth. And it burns when it gets in your eyes. And like [Veritas] said, it tastes nasty. |
