  i think this is a container of ideal substance.

  it’s kinda like there are a set of weights that is the master weight for metric, that all others are calibrated against.

  this would be the ideal substance considered swiss chocolate, for use in verifying machines and other tests are calibrated to this substance.

  from what i remember about these. they all taste terrible. but are technically edible.

    They tend to be labeled as “Intended for research use only. Not for human consumption.” not as “To be consumed by amazing scientists.”

    It’s actually a promotional item for the ideal substances from MilliporeSigma, though.

    … Ok.

    That … actually makes sense.

    I must note that, not being a chemist or lab tech of any kind, my initial read of ‘ideal substance’ was platonic ideal… and I was going to ask some questions about that, but… not what you meant.

      right they are, asi understand it, chemically ideal, created of chemically “ideal” base ingredients, cooked at exacting temperatures and pressures, for exacting times. purified of anomalies at every step.

        Yeah haha!

        I had to uh, frame shift my context for vocab… yes, that makes much more sense than… attempting to create a philosophically perfect example of a swiss chocolate, in a lab, hahaha!
