Yeah, exactly. A lot of my friends are Primus fans. All right. Let's take a break and we'll enter the 20th century right after this. Sure.

That's just the way it was back then. And we'll get to more of that sort of weird sexism in science that still continues today in a little bit. But one of the big players, there were a couple of big ones. The first one was the Chemcraft Company. Chemcraft chemistry set in 1916 was the first really sort of popular toy chemistry set produced by the Porter Chemical Company out of Maryland.

And it was about $1.50 to maybe $10 if you were pretty well-heeled, because that's about $40 to $300 today. So some pretty decent money you'd have to throw down on the high-end chemistry set back then. These had test tubes by this point. You had an alcohol lamp. Of course, you had your weights and balances, and you had lots of chemicals.

Yeah, it's funny. Like the literal quote was keeping your face at a little distance. And the first three times I read that, I read it as keeping your little face at a distance. Oh, I wish they'd said that.

It was it should have been keep your little face at a great distance because that was dangerous. There was also something called fire ink. which is exactly what you think is you would combine. Well, you may not know what you combine, but you know what the result probably is. You combine potassium nitrate and water in a test tube and then write on a piece of paper and light that on fire.

And, you know, what you have spelled out is now on fire.

Yeah, but you would also probably be more likely to write butthole or something like that than, hey, how are you?
