Like I said... whatever the cost lol. I tried other things but he really REALLY loves those damn glowsticks. They were the only reward that consistenly acheived results (tried TV, movies, toys, playground visits, swimming pool trips, stickers, candy, popcorn, magnets, angry birds time, apple juice, begging, threatening, crying, pleading, etc).
You just have to find what works and every kid will be different
Our daughter has a prize bag for going potty (specifically for when she poops in the toilet since she was not enthused about doing it). We filled it with cheap rings, barrettes, tiny bottles of play nail polish, etc. that we found in the "dollar" section of Toys R Us, Target, and the party section of other stores. The girl is as girly as can be, so giving her dress up stuff has been a great motivator.
Stickers didn't work for either of my kids. And I don't like using food as a reward because I think it sends the wrong message about food. However, I agree with Azurephoenix that you have to do whatever works for you and your kid.

Hey, it works.
Rhiannon will go usually... pooping she's scared to death of, however. Skittles will usually settle her down, though.

YIL that my UnderArmor Underooos still stink after they come out of the wash... I did not discover this until after I was speaking with my boss, and realized I smelled like ass.
TIL British people don't feel guilty 'bout nothin'I'd ask where the Latino/Asian/Indian version is but there's not alot of White Guilt associated with those races.
TIL that my dog is trying to kill me.
I was walking around the yard this morning, in the dark with a flashlight, looking for his food and water bowls. He likes to hide them the minute he finishes eating. He runs out ahead of me into the dark, then from about 40 feet away reels around and runs at me at full speed and plows into my knee. It hyper extended just a little, I am surprised that it did not dislocate as hard as he hit me...
Puppy got a spanking.

My lab used to do that. He was way too good at reading me and if I was going to try to dodge. I learned to jump just before he hit, that way I would at worst flip and fall on my face.
I'm surprised. Given your talents and sensibilities, I would have expected you to have put together an arduino-based game that would encourage toilet use. Maybe something like skeeball with bells and flashing lights that would give out prize tickets based on accuracy?

TIL that my gecko can see in colour. Not only this but he can distinguish colours in less intense light where we only see various shades of grey.
I'm not really sure how this came up in French class but I had to google it.

TIL that I am less than enthused about being up at 6am for an all day conference I signed up for a month or so ago.
You just learned that today?
I know! It didn't hit me until the alarm clock went off. As I was eating breakfast, I started thinking about all the real stuff I could get done today instead of attending this fluff-filled conference. I mainly signed up for it as a get-me-out-of-the-house thing not because it's anything important. Plus I can get out of the house for a while today anyway on my own terms - like for a run which I really, really need to do.
YIL I don't like one of my favorite restaurants Pork sandwiches. The broccoli raab in it tasted funky.
TIL I have all the time in the world, and yet I do nothing with it.

TIL my cousin and her boyfriend lost custody of their baby because they failed their drug tests. Dumb asses.

TIRL(Today I relearned) why I fucking hate tomato paste cans. THEY DO NOT STACK! What kind-of sadist made these cans?!
You need to start a kickstarter to design and manufacture a stackable tomato paste can.
or work on hand-eye coordination.
Or a kickstarter to make a can stacking robot!
With a name like Shakey that may work better.
It would, which leads into a TIL for me.
TIL I can't pick up a full pot of coffee with my left hand anymore. I used to be able to if I was careful, but today I just about spilled coffee everywhere with the pot maybe an inch off the warmer. I had to have someone else do it for me.
Now I feel worser. 
Awkward....
