All That Glitters
A simple riddle you behold,
All that glitters is not gold.
My first is second in line,
I'll send shivers up your spine.
Though I'm not quite shining bright,
I seem to glitter in the light.
What am I?

Answer
Ice, of course!My first letter, 'I', is the second letter in the word, 'LINE'.
In daylight, ice seems to glitter. =)

That was good.
I really like this one! I can't believe I didn't get it, but it made me laugh because it was sooo obvious after I saw the answer.
Good stuff
Ummm... okay?
I thought it was a good riddle. I don't subscribe to the view that everything should be earth shatteringly difficult - I'm far happier when I get them right than when I have to give in and get the answer. Also, I would imagine that most people using the site have different areas where they shine so we need differing levels of difficulty to cater for everyone.

I didn't get it right! I felt so stupid when I saw the answer. I should of got it! Maybe it's to early.
I thought it was water . . . la la la

i would have never thought that. i was thinking glitter or something.
Interesting. I myself prefer funny brain teaers, and ones that I can actually get without having to look at the answer..... but still nice teaser.
Oh now i get it. Just needed the answer.
Good one, but I needed the answer.
I was so close. I wasn't thinking of ice though. I was thinnking stras at first. I don't know!
Nice I liked that one Great Job
A little too hard for me...I don't particularly think ice glitters. When I saw the shivers up the spine bit I thought of lightning. And I totally missed the "my first is second in line" bit. Didn't realize it had to do w/ letters. I need to come up w/ a good one...aha, I got one. I'll see if I can post it.
that was a good one i liked it
i thought it might be water to but was stick with the"second in line " deal
I agree with rrb21.
I agree with rrb21.
My first thought was fool's gold until I saw the shivers up your spine clue. Of course, if I found real gold, I'm sure it would send shivers up my spine! Very good teaser even though I didn't get the answer correct!
this one is cute, thanks i got it
too easy

I got it, though it took me awhile to get the "my first = 2nd in line" thing (I knew that was the key.) Good work.
Smart!
Good work
I thought it was a Bee. "My first is second in line ..." I thought of the line as the alphabet, and bees certainly make my spine shiver and bees shimmer as they fly because you can't focus on them. Maybe I'll submit the same riddle with an answer of : BEE.
A very good mouth-watering teaser. It seems to have made a few people aware, this morning! Keep up the fantastic work. I can enjoy teasers of this nature.
As a rule I like riddles, but this was was reaching a bit, I think. I didn't get it, and I don't think I ever would have gotten it with what was revealed in the riddle. Sorry. That is just my opinion.
it was okay.
that was easy i got it right away..but that was a very good riddle
the only part i understood was that it isnt gold and it sparkles and sends shivers, that makes it obviously ice, hey, and i am only 13 here.
ok i gave up
i thought it was something scary with the 'send shivers up your spine' bit
hey i'm only 13 here...cut me some slack

Lucky guess on my part..I went with I but didn't think it was right based on riddle.
boring
i got it as soon as i read the my first is second in line part
so obvious

Hey, it was kinda sticky, i don't know, it wasn't really original
It was really hard
wow, i was actually pretty close. i thought it was snow or rain or something.
i loved it!!! riddles are the BOMB!!!!
NN ice job. Cool. More please.
Aarrgghh!!! 2nd in LINE!!! BAHHH!!! You got me. I'm just feeling ashamed.
I knew that clue had to do with letters, but I thought 2nd in line in the alphabet... and I couldn't come up with anything starting with 'B' that would send shivers up my spine. Darn, darn, darn!!

...except bats, but they don't glitter.
I, too, kept trying to make a word that started with "B." That letter is second in line in the alphabet. But, no, you had to make it too easy, and I kept trying to make it too hard!
At first I thought it was snow...so that is close to ice, isn't it???
Anyway, thanks. That was fun and a good riddle and, dag nab it, it was EASY!

This one has been on here long enough that the ice has melted.
My first is second in line gave the whole thing away. Very cleverly done.
Sends shivers made me think it was either snow or ice...the first is second in line gave it away. Fun riddle!
Nice1!
I thought it was a diamond...
YOU GOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was dew on a very cold morning.It glitters and the cold outside makes you shiver. Oh well it could have been but ice is better, I guess!
Very easy COOL teaser.
not one of my favorites
" The 1st is second line line " ???? How assinine and useless hint.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly.
