"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Frankly, I didn't know they still made these things.

I gotta say, that video is way over narrated; it feels like it was made for potential (and drunk?) investors and/or convincing The Woke™ not to cancel this product.
And, like you, Paco, I didn't know they were still being made.
That said ... ignoring the downside, it's interesting to see how they're made. I never really thought about it, but there's considerable thought and science that goes into their manufacture. Especially considering that the original target of lava lamps was the "hip generation", i.e., hippies.
Jeff: Part of the appeal of the video, to me, was the unintentional humor: "highest standards", "rigorous quality control", "continuing popularity" - all done up with a posh pommie accent!

Thanks!

What's this, Paco? You mean to say you don't have a lava lamp? Right next to your beanbag chair?
"...all done up with a posh pommie accent!"
Y'know, I was going to say that the video resembled a poorly produced BBC documentary.
But I didn't, dagnabit!
