I used to go round my mates house (who just happened to be of Chinese origin) and spend hours painting bamboo poles black with gold ends just so we could have 'Monkey Magic' style kung fu fights. Being Chinese and related to Bruce Lee he used take it very seriously, I only went along with it because his dad would give us a pound each for the chip shop.
We also used to do the alchemy thing with various household chemicals.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

You may remember a TV programme called 'The boy David' who had a flesh eating decease? He was in the UK at the time and I was lucky enough to have his surgeon operate on my hand. That was in the early eighties.

I helped to get rid of weeds in the garden. I mixed weed killer and sugar together and spread it over the weeds. I then set light to it. One very black garden."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

We used to have snuff sniffing contests but the snuff was replaced with powders found in the kitchen. So you'd start with an easy cinnamon or a nutmeg and then gradually work up to the chilli and curry powders.
First one to sneeze or refuse the snuff was out.
Washing powder was the ultimate challenge (and probably the most unsafe).Comment
