Mr. Wizard's Famous Ammonia Fountain

Would have loved him doing titration on ammonia solutions. Have to do that in my current job...but, came prepared somewhat via Mr. Wizard all those years ago...

Scientists don't sniff anything

Solid!
Top KEK!
Pece be with you.

You can make methamphetamine from ammonia

He told the kid not to smell it directly, then Don smelled it directly.

So why don't we have shows like this anymore?
Because you can't sell Mr. Wizard action figures, plushies, and stickers.
There's just no profit in educating the youth when you can throw together a highly marketable cartoon.

I wonder if scientists were the first ones to fan farts. Lol

Kids are SO much more able to understand the world than most people realize

There are more people in these comments complaining about people complaining about the lack of safety than actual people complaining about the lack of safety.

Keep fighting that good fight against the invisible snowflakes 💪

Mr. Wizard and Mr. Rogers were in the same special ops.

Mr Wizard makes BILL NYE look like an Absolute Numbskull…. But then Again, BILL NYE is not only “Not A scientist”, But He is just an Actor a Spazz and a Lib/Leftist.. 😂..

This is what I grew up with. Bill Nye is crap

Here smell this
almost smacks kid in the face
😂

I grew up watching Mr. Wizard and 3-2-1 Contact and got a degree in Earth Science. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Now do it with bleach

That kid looks older than Mr. Wizard.

Omg memories

In 10 years this will be very very true.

I absolutely LOVED this show. I was born in 81 so I was very young when I watched this but I loved it

This was my favorite show back in the day. Osha would have a hard on for this today

Hey billy, smell this undiluted ammonia. 😂

I can’t believe that how long ago this video was

My god i havent seen this show since i was under 10. Just turn 40 this month

Kids would be dying at a rapid rate if Mr wizard was on today. Karen's would shut that shyt down with the quickness. We lived in a world that encouraged free thinking when we were kids. Today they encourage political thinking. Can't wait to see what the society of litigation has in store for us.

Ah - the innocence of those days . Where is the personal protective equipment? Where is the ventilation ? Where are the lawyers waiting for an incident so they can sue somebody ? Where are the Activists protesting Chemical trials in a regular house or stage ? etc....(sigh).....

Used to watch this every day after school on Nickelodeon
back in 1987.

sickboyrari?

I would come home after and be so excited to watch mr wizards world....was the coolest kids show...long live the 80s

I loved Mr. Wizard growing up.

This is Ammonium Oxide..Do ya smell that? Good. Night. Goodnight. I trusted this man when I was young. Still encouraged my fascination of Science. Mr. Wizard's World was a treat to watch and learn. Thank you, Mr. Wizard!
(Mr. Herbert).!

Back when Nickelodeon was more like PBS.

The show was originally pitched as, “Forget That, Let’s Build a Bomb with an Old Man.” P.S., nipple.

I grew up watching Mr. Wizard, listening to Weird Al, and playing with transformers. Grew up loving science and earned my Bachelors in Computer Science 🤣 Go figure. RIP Mr. Wizard and thanks for making my childhood better through your educational show.

As a kid growing up in the 80's I remember watching Mr. Wizard on Nickelodeon my father now deceased learned a lot and also watched him as a kid, Dad died at age 65 in 2011.

I really wish I had the forethought to do a reaction video for this. I was screaming at my screen, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? NO!!! STOOOOPPPP!!!!!!" By the end of it, I was facepalming so hard. I couldn't believe what I had watched. "It's just plain old water mixed with ammonia gas, that's all." Yeah, perfectly safe and healthy thing to do - BOIL AMMONIA.

Loved this show when I was a kid.

Me too I started everyday watching Mr Wizard in middle school

“Don’t put your head over. Scientists breath like this.”
(Wafts)

…(then puts his head over.)

He said nipple

Ammonia is so awesome! Only cleaning agent I ever use. I like the gas and water solution.

That kid probably has cancer from this

Thanks

I used to watch this show as a kid. I was born in 1984.

Real man behind Sheldon and Leonard favorite show.

That kid is actually Tucker Carlson

These kids are smarter than most modern day adults

Now we know where the idea for Breaking Bad came from.

In the 80s there were Wizards
