I wonder how many nerds who had one of these sets for Christmas when a child, are now in hospital, fighting the cancer which inexplicably (they never smoked, drank, ...) crept into their tender loins and devastated their crown jewels.
I can only imagine how the ad for this thing looked...
New from A. C. Gilbert! Atomic Energy Lab! All you wannabe murderers and potential terrorists, rejoice! For only 49,50 you can have your own come-to-be pocket nuke! Buy one of these for your loved one's birtday and you won't have to think of buying another present next year! Brilliant! NOTE: Tinkering with radioactive materials may cause serious damage to your health. Environmental suit not included.
I could never expect that a child's toy could make me feel intrigued, amused and horrified at the same time.
