You've probably heard about the Atomic Energy Lab Kit, a science kit that enabled kids to experiment with uranium. Now, thanks to Atlas Obscura, we get to take a look inside this disturbing toy. Sure, it was educational, but it was also radioactive. The kit was only available for a couple of years, but the reason it was discontinued was, surprisingly, not because of the danger. -via Nag on the Lake

My Dad let me take a radioactive rock and a Geiger counter to school once. He also let us drink coffee and sleep outside, and there weren't any seatbelts to argue about. It's a wonder we survived to adulthood.
