Yeah, not bad. It's like when the professor wrote the book that you're in your textbook. One little just sort of fun fact that Dave threw in here was this was pre-test tube. They didn't have test tubes yet. So in both of these early 18th century chemistry chests, they said to use wine glasses.

Yeah. I mean, there were and we've talked about this before, like scientific demonstrations in the 19th century could be everything from just like straight up science to a little little magic, a little showmanship involved, a little flair. People like Faraday were doing stuff like this in public. There was a chemist named Frederick Ackham, I guess, A-C-C-U-M.

who would do these big public demonstrations that were, you know, kind of part magic show, part science. And you could even buy one of his sets. He had a chemistry set. I don't think they were called chests at this point. It was. Oh, it was still called the chest? Oh, yeah. There it is in the title. Akum's Chest of Chemical Amusement. Again, which, you know, lends itself to amusement.

Yeah, for sure. And all of this, you know, talk of sort of magic and fun is a is a long way to get to the fact that by the sort of. Early 1800s and like 1835, they started saying, hey, these like we should sell these to kids. These are fun.
