DISQUS

I had one with actual mercury in it. It was in the 80s, and the blob of Mercury was pretty big. I had it for years, and the Mercury gradually degraded so that it didn't blob up again normally. If I shook the case very hard, it would spread fine drops all over the inside, which wouldn't collect up as normal. No warning about Mercury poisoning then.

That's not new, or futuristic. I had the exact same thing in the 80's that you put a drop of water into the corner and then tilted it around. The plastic was coated in a powder that would prevent the water drop from sticking to it. But once you touched the powder, it would come off and when the water drop hit that spot it was doomed.

This doesn't have any powder in it I don't think....seems like a pretty innovative use for this material! At least, according to the product page:
