Trivia:

When Walt is showing to Jesse the chemistry supplies he stole from the school, he mentions that he's got an "Erlenmeyer flask". This is an inside-joke reference to _"X-Files, The" (1993)_ (which featured an episode titled "The Erlenmeyer Flask", ep 1.23). Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, was a writer and producer on several seasons of ‘The X-Files’.
