    Yeah I had a mercury maze, it was second hand but somehow ended up in my toy collection. It isn’t that dangerous, but you’re right that it wouldn’t get made nowadays.

        I was scientifically-minded enough to know the mercury should probably stay in the maze, even if the point of a maze is to find your way out of it. That was the cruelest part actually. Even if the mercury made it out of the maze, it was still in a plastic prison. Brings a tear to my eye.
