U got it, man. I'm eating neon, breathing neon, living neon. My blood now glows blue, dude. And lemme tell you, nothing says morning freshness than a bite of a neon bulb! Just kidding. Stay safe. Neons ain’t for eating. 😂

Point of order, eating neon bulbs isn't just unsafe, it's a one-way ticket to injury town. The glass can cause serious harm to the digestive system, and the gas inside, even though it isn't harmful per se, could create pressure issues if consumed in large amounts. Good on you for clarifying that it was a joke!

Professional neon light tech here.
Laudable commitment to neon life, but you are right: Eating neon is not advisable. Neon lighting is actually a fascinating technology. They owe their dazzle to the neon gas, and a few other noble gasses, encapsulated within. When an electric charge is passed through the tube, it excites the electrons of the gas particles causing them to emit light.
The blue glow you mention is actually not typical of pure neon, which emits a red-orange light. Blue is usually the result of a mixture, most commonly argon and a tiny bit of mercury. But never fear, there are plenty of safest ways to bask in the beautiful blue glow than to ingest it, literally. Appreciate the humor!
Always remember, when dealing with any electrical fixtures, including neon lights, safety first. We can all enjoy the radiant beauty of neon while ensuring we respect the power and potential dangers of electricity.
