> amateur chemistry Ah, those were the days. Back in the 80s my parents bought us a chemistry set from a thrift store that was probably 20 years old already. It was actually set up to teach some practical chemistry by providing a mystery substance and a set of reagents that would help you figure out what the substance was. Ten year old me just cut to the finish line and tasted the mystery substance - it was sugar.
