A 1950’s ‘Atomic Energy Lab’ toy. Just what every parent wanted under their roof 🥴 Did You Know? – Weirdness Wednesdays December 22, 2021

Here’s an unusual post for this week’s Weirdness Wednesday post; saw it recently on Did You Know? – A 1950’s ‘Atomic Energy Lab’ toy. Just what every parent wanted under their roof 🥴: https://www.didyouknowdaily.com/photo/uranium-toys. Most of the article minus the photos. Why anyone thought this was a good idea is beyond me.

A 1950’s ‘Atomic Energy Lab’ toy. Just what every parent wanted under their roof 🥴

The ‘Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab’ kit came complete with real uranium ore and three radiation sources, offering over 150 exciting experiments

Unsurprisingly, the kits were removed from shelves before too long!
