We used flynap in some classes and ether in others. the flynap is messier, the ether is dizzier. Just the smell fo that stuff gives me headaches nowadays. ugh!
The worst fruitfly experience ever was when lab partner tried to dump the test tube upsidedown to get the flies out, and instead created a mini-landslide. Fermenting banana goo overcame a colony of sleepy fruitflies. Search and rescue operations took place under the stereoscope. We managed to save enough of them from drowning not to repeat the lab (this was week 3 of the breeding experiment)
