Beaut freeby red light torch

This might seem rather flippant but I have just acquired a red light torch which seems surprisingly good. This is an red led "ear clip torch" which slips over the ear like a blue tooth phone accessory. The beaut part about it is that it came out of the Shrek Sultana Bran. It is quite dull but seems very useful away from the house lights on a moonless night. The down side is that it's one of those annoying 1-in-3 chance things. To make it more tricky, they come in different colours, but despite what it seems from the box, Donkey has a red light.

Imagine that, Kelloggs giving out astronomy accessories.

Some people have all the luck!

Did you have to fight the kids for it... or did you bribe them?

I would have thought that food regulations would prevent batteries which can leak toxic chemicals from being packed inside foodstuffs.

I scored one of these to thanks to a missus that likes Coco Pops.

Red light district

I have seen some passable red led torches in 2 dollar shops.Did not need to buy the tooth rotting, diabetes causing cereal either ! Jaycar have a reasonable keyring red led torch, bit stiff, but I like it.Big question - Is the freebie torch worth the increased dental bill ? (please paint a couple of these teeth black.)
