Yep, I had one and great fun it was too. For some reason playing with the purple potassium permanganate sticks in my memory.

I expect they cannot be found in shops these days due to "Elf & Safe T".  ;) ;D

You can buy them from Osama Bin John Lewis (http://www.johnlewis.com/230491507/Product.aspx?source=35079) :y :y :y :y :y!
Looked at them, no where near as good.

All I remeber was that mine had lots to play with, and we found out whilst playing that a cork type test tube cork could leave a nice dent in chipboard  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :-X
