I think, perhaps, there are many here who did science experiments as kids. The world didn't stop turning then, it won't now.
Interesting. I would have thought Irish with the harp and what appear to be clovers.
Actually, it's Mercari. I read an article in Bloomberg Weekly not so long ago about them. I believe it started out with quality used clothing but...
