In late 1952, Canadian toy designers and siblings Edward (left) and Arthur (right) Sunber were trying to design a new type of plastic when they accidentally found something even better, a whole new element. They called it Sunberium, after their last names. As toy designers, the first thing they did was try to turn it into a toy. there were various failed attempts, such as Stretchy Slime, which caused 2nd degree burns, The Chemical Piano, which violently exploded, and Sunber Gunbers, which melted anything shot. after over a year, they finally built something that didn’t cause property damage, S-Ray Goggles. the goggles, cleverly marketed as giving you a whole new view on life, gave outlines to objects when worn. A few ads later and they were a huge success! Every cool cat had one of these. They were so popular various schools banned them. But, of course, all good things have to come to an end, and the S-Ray Goggles came out with a bang. On 1955, July 15th, 1:46 PM, S-Ray Goggles all across Toronto started exploding like popcorn. Various fatalities occurred in what was known as "The S-Plosion Of 55". And, yes, property damage occurred. Various toy stores exploded and/or were burnt to the ground. The toys stopped being made, and Sunber Toys was shut down. In 1957, Edward Sunber died due to cancer, and Arthur died in 1983 due to cardiac arrest.
