Yeah. And speaking of glass or even some chemistry sets that had the material and instruction for blowing glass, which is no doubt a super cool, awesome thing to learn. But it's, you know, it's not something a kid should be trying in their bedroom.

And as we're saying all this, we should point out that these early kits and sets did not offer things like eye protection, like not even a little pair of like fun goggles, you know, like, hey, kid, these are cute and fun. You look like a real scientist if you wear these, like just didn't come with them.

And the whole thing with, you know, that we tied it into earlier with magic, a lot of them have like, here's your science experiments you can do, but also here's some just really fun, like sort of literal magic tricks you can do.

Shall we take a break?

All right. That was very insured, but we're doing it anyway. We'll be right back.

All right, so you're getting these chemistry sets, another big part of the whole sort of branding thing for these companies making these. And this was just sort of big back in those days and like the 1950s was like clubs, like kids clubs. So if you got a chemistry set, it was pretty good chance it would come with like a membership in like a science club.

And there could be local chapters that you get together with your friends and things you could mail in for. Probably a magazine is involved. like a quarterly magazine, certainly in the case of Chemcraft. They had the science club, and the Chemcraft chemist was their rag that they sent out, which was usually just ads for more stuff to buy.
