Title: Not the magic rocks I remember from the 70s
Product review: Save your money. What a mess. The scenic backgrounds are made of cheap paper that goes on the inside! of the small tank, so when they sit inside liquid for a few hours, they eventually peel off. There's no top for the plastic tank, so it's an open container very prone to spillage. You grow the rocks inside a chemical solution, which gets very cloudy and must be drained out and replaced with tapwater (and you need to do this a few times to get the tank clear). Trouble is, when you tip the tank to drain out the liquid, many of the little stalagmites you just grew BREAK. Those that don't break fade in color within a day or two. This was a total waste of money. My kids were disappointed and I was upset that not only is this not what I remembered from my childhood, but I wasted 22 bucks (I bought 2 sets).
