For me it's more like, lava lamps are only the kind of thing I saw when I was like, a toddler. So I've been aware of their existence for a long time, but it's not really something I've ever thought about up until now. I definitely didn't have any real idea of properties like density changes with temperature when I was young enough that lava lamps were still around.

Who wants to join my class action lawsuit for false advertisement?

No harm done, and that's very kind of you to share your self reflection like that

It's news to me :(

Maybe you're older than me, but I only ever saw them as a very young child, and I always just assumed that it was some sort of crazy toxic chemicals or something because of the way it looked, and it wasn't something I have really ever thought about until now.
