This comes up very often. It is most likely ( probably 99.99%) a remnant of an experiment in one of chem lab books for middle and high school chemistry. Here

Students, after doing it and showing every one, usually just puts it into circulation as soon as the novelty runs out. Probably 100,000 of these are made every term.
