Dangerous mutagen ooze in glass containers?

[jestermon]

This has always made me think be it aliens or people that invented the stuff you think they would have it in a better container for transport, obviously they use beakers and such in real labs, but even they are made out of more of a Pyrex now not just glass.

When people transport dangerous chemicals they usually have them in some kind of more secure container for transporting, here put this uranium in your coffee mug they need it in the other lab.

Always thought it was kind of odd.

If the mutagen was in an unbreakable container, the turtles probably never would have mutated in the 2003 cartoon, since they never would have touched the mutagen. I think the writers had it be in glass since the turtles had to have a way to mutate in the first place.

Maybe it's cursive, like an acid, and only a glass container can hold it...

comic book logic, the same where chemical waste gives a kid inner radar and super hearing, or gamma radiation gives you superpowers.

This video link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wbONcLKEEg) doesn't work anymore, but in its infamous words:
"Cowabunga, dudes, don't take mutagen!"
