BUT... had Glimlings been around, you probably could have tricked me into being safe while having a cool ghost or jack o' lantern dangling from my costume.
No not the creatures the Skeksis were chasing in The Dark Crystal. (Anyone? Anyone?)
Glimlings are safety reflectors that have all sorts of cool shapes and make you more visible to traffic headlights at night. Simple, right?
Normally I'd pass right over something like this but I really liked the look of the Glimling jack o' lantern and ghost.
In fact the Glimling line has embraced Halloween with a cat, pumpkin, ghost (two kinds, regular and "running") and skull with nail in its head (wha--?).
They could make responsible treats to drop in the kids' bags amongst the fun size candy bars or even decorations for your Halloween Tree. Just sayin'. I'm an idea man.
Check out all the shapes (including pawprints, peace symbols, etc.) at the Glimling.com website HERE. (Warning: do not stare too long at the 1997 twinkling star background.)

Considering I'm a new driver on the New Continent, I'm all in for plastering as many of these onto any pedestrians, be they animal or human.
In my country, police, insurance companies, schools and even pet activists campaign for the use of these, and most companies hand them out for free - just like pens or pins - with their logo or contact information on. I've gotten all mine for free, at stores, gas stations, my insurance companies, school, military and the odd friend or family member while still in Finland. My favourite was perhaps the tape-on reflector bands that you can get in rolls from pharmacies. And then over to America, and all of a sudden no-one seems to have even heard of these things.
On dark, wet, icy roads, it's just so hard to see pedestrians before it's too late, and most kids (and grown-ups) in our parts give no indication of minding cars that can't see them.
I'm happy that someone even writes in English about the reflectors, as I ended up here from an image search.
Okay, rant over. Sorry.
