Yes, I have used Bunsen Burners during my formal education in chemistry courses in high school and at university. When I was a kid, I had a chemistry set, but I used a candle during that time. When I was young, I considered "bench chemist" as my future profession.
By the way, from 1992 to 1996, I was a reporter, writer, editor, and researcher for a weekly international magazine on the financial and technical aspects of the chemical industry based in New York City. This is my favorite job among my many jobs during my journalistic career, more accurately series of gigs, from September 1982 to April 2017.

I prefer mashed potatoes, especially mixed with Gorgonzola cheese.

My favorite Crayola crayon color when I was a kid in the 1960s was "Cornflower." What was/is your favorite crayon color? (See the cornflower color in the comment section below.)

When I was a teenager living in West Islip, Long Island, New York, in the 1970s, I used to dig for Littleneck and Cherrystone clams with my feet in the Great South Bay. I occasionally ate them, but only minced and baked with breadcrumbs. I also occasionally ate steamer clams, but I didn't much like them. We called them piss clams.
