Element Breakdown
Sulfur (S)
Sulfur is one of the oldest known elements — ancient civilizations called it 'brimstone' and associated it with volcanoes and the underworld.
Hydrogen (H)
Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the entire universe — about 75% of all normal matter is hydrogen! It was first recognized as a distinct element in 1766 by Henry Cavendish, who called it 'inflammable air' because it catches fire so easily.
Aluminum (Al)
Aluminum (or aluminium, depending on where you live) was once more valuable than gold! In the 1800s, before scientists figured out how to mass-produce it, Napoleon III served his most honored guests with aluminum cutlery while everyone else got gold.
Nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air you are breathing right now, yet you barely notice it.
