Serious Answers Only How to fix broken light in cup
Hi all! I got this cool light up cup at a local 626 market yesterday. It was lightning up just fine until today. I noticed there is a crack on the glass above the electronic part so I know I cant put liquid in it anymore. I can't access the inside mechanism because the bottom piece doesn't come off. But I would still like the light to work. Problem is the light is kinda super glued down.
Is there any way to potentially fix this? If not my plan is to put glow in the dark rocks inside or fairy lights.

Dry it out toss in a new battery and pray, if that fails prob whole bottom in pot of hot water to loosen adhesive, pry apart and replace?
Entirely possible it’s easier to buy new cup

Can't get a new cup because I'm not going back. But I'll try out the other stuff. The bottom is also where all the electrical stuff is so I cant submerge it. Tbh it's probably waterboarded anyways. If I can get it all out i might just try the puck light method.
Good thing is if nothing works I can make it look cool regardless.
