I grew up being told "Don't touch the lava lamp it's toxic if it breaks"

I had a black and blue one. my parents dropped it. It was destroyed. I still lay here at night thinking about it.

I feel like this is forbidden knowledge

Had a lava lamp once.... at my Sims' house

I've wanted a lava lamp for as long as I can remember, and I'm hoping to finally get one for my sixteenth birthday.
Edit: I GOT IT! :D

This reminds me of when I was really little. My sister had a lava lamp. One night the lava lamp was on I was laying in bed after my sister and I just argued she turned over and said "I'm so mad at you. Now you can't look at my lava lamp." We shared a room.

So my World History Teacher was discussing the idea of archeology, and about how most of the items we find might be incorrectly labeled. He posed the question: “What if, in the far future, archeologists dug up a lava lamp? What would they think it was? A ceremonial object, probably.”

I grew up in the 90s when the lava lamp had come back into style and I'd always been fascinated by them. I'd owned a number of Chinese clone lamps, but the movement of the lava was always disappointing. I then heard about Mathmos and figured since they created the original, they must be good. Very pleased with my purchase, the lava moves all the way from top to bottom! I also think it's really neat that they still make them in the U.K at the same factory, there's not a lot of things you can still buy today that are still made in their home country.

When I was a child I thought hundreds of people sacrifice their lives just to collect lava and create a lamp

I got a lava lamp as a Christmas present when I was about 11 or 12 and I was SHOOK. It was so mesmerizing to me and I'd sit there watching it just do its thing and wondering what the heck it was made out of. It had blue liquid and green 'lava' and I had that thing until I was in college. My mom probably put it in the garage somewhere lol

[andinix]

what the heck.. last night I was literally wondering how lava lamps are made and now I just got a notification for this video...

The day we get to know what's in that Lava lamp, the world will evolve into an intergalactic society.

When I was younger, my sister had one and it was how I fell asleep most nights, watching it go up and down was so fascinating to me. They’re so iconic

[TheMessenger]

I have always wished I had one of this when I was growing... Now I'm old enough to get me a truck load of it... Gonna make myself happy...

[timstarkey]

Ok this is great and all but I just love them for their w i g g l e

I inherited a lava lamp from the 80's, and somehow it's still going strong. Lava lamps are no joke

[smokeynedith]

This is one of those retro things that will never go out of style. I've had lava lamps for years and still absolutely love them. They are especially good on nightstands. Watching them relaxes you and can help you fall asleep. We are going to move to a new house and I will get more. Watching the video it surprised me to discover that the most popular colors are also my very favorite: the purple liquid with yellow gel. Right now I have one next to my desk in my retreat where I spend most of my time. How relaxing this is to watch. Please, never stop making these.
