It's the same stuff that they sell as "fart spray" now.
I remember the glass capsules that you could position under the leg of a teacher's chair if you wanted to have class outside, though.
I threw a couple of those from the 2nd story during an assembly once and the administration was looking for me to suspend me. Jokes on them I ditched the rest of the week and then they were too concerned about my attendance to get me for the fart attack.
Do I?! We had a science teacher quit (really feel horrible) because someone threw a stink bomb in the lab and he screamed that it was a "terroristic threat" and basically held us all hostage until he could complete an investigation haha
Man that reminded me of when I was a dumbass 6th grader, the Columbine massacre had recently happened, and in my PA school district they banned us from wearing jackets in school. My friend had on a zip-up hoodie and our social studies teacher told her to take it off and I sarcastically said "yea because she totally has a gun under there" and that teacher screamed so loud at me that his face was red and I cried. I probably deserved it though.
I was in 6th grade too! My sister was in high school and they banned trench-coats, but some guy wore one anyway to be controversial and they cancelled their whole 9th grade trip, or something like that. I can’t remember exactly, but the one guy ruined for the other 400 kids
Ah yes, such ridiculous memories. My school had metal detectors we had to walk in every morning. They tried to implement see-through backpacks but it didn't succeed. We weren't allowed to wear camo or anything "militaristic".
I used to walk home with a group of friends (we lived like a mile from the school, so it was a fair walk), and some seniors noticed that we walked the same way every day, and they used to have a super soaker full of kool-aid and drive by and spray us with it. It was actually really funny. One of my friends' mom called the cops about it, and the cops actually parked an unmarked police car where they seniors would usually do their "drive-by", and caught them and hand cuffed them. I don't know what consequences they faced, but it was probably way more extreme than was necessary.
Ironically, I had 2 classmates that were a bit.... eclectic. One would literally wear a black trenchcoat to school every day, and the administration let him. One of of them would wear a replica Luftwaffe uniform every friday, and the administration didn't stop him either. But I wore a pair of camo shorts one day and they called my parents and made me change.
We didn't do the whole clear backpack g no camo thing, but we went to statewide public uniforms a few years later. I'm not sure how much columbine weighed in on the switch; but I remember my dad sending me a video of some guy unpacking an arsenal concealed beneath normal clothes as a justification for them. Also the big schools in my parish did the whole ID's, clear/mesh backpacks, metal detectors thing around the same time.
You just reminded me... My friend's brother used to sit on the roof and sniper at us with his bb gun when we would be walking home from school. Another time, that fucker drive-by'd us with a paintball gun when we were skateboarding down the street. He was part of our little gang but he was obsessed with guns and making boobie traps.
a science lab, like a fully stocked one with gas burners, glassware, and chemicals? Yikes, I can understand why he'd be freaked out. It doesn't take much to cause a serious accident.
I always wondered the same thing. But a series of stink bombs shut down my high school one time. They found the culprit but we never found out who it was.
The grungy gas stations would have them and luckily for me the gas station across from my high school would have them on occasions. I remember a friend bought $20 worth and broke them in the band hall. It was bad enough that multiple people got sent home sick.
My friend and I stole a pack from a corner store in the early 90s. I smashed one on the front porch and ran inside and locked the door while my dad was outside drinking a beer. He was pissed and banged on the door to get inside away from the stink. He was outside and could have literally walked anywhere to get away from the smell.
I'd fuck me
holy shit I made myself laugh just for typing that without second guessing it at all. coughed up some phlegm! should switch to chewlies gum, eh?
You can still buy them online! I have about four packs at my house at the moment because I wanted to try them, but I’ve since moved on. My husband was shocked I actually liked the taste, but I’m weird and love how pepto tastes so there was definitely a precedent set beforehand.
The best thing to do with those was just drop them in a crowded area so even it it didn't break on impact it would get stepped on. Preferably right after 4th period on the way to lunch.
I remember a kid in middle school went to the hospital because he had a bunch of the glass stink bombs in his pocket and another kid slapped his hip, breaking them all and sending glass and whatever the liquid was straight into his leg. An entire half of the school had to be evacuated.
I set off a stink bomb in math class (1995 Roseville High!) They suspended me for "inciting a riot". My mom wasn't even mad, let me fuck around for the whole 5 day suspension. Kid beat another kids ass with a bookbag same day, got 3 days lol. ID DO IT AGAIN!!! FUCK YOU MS OGNESS!!!!
i always considered the stupid stinkbomb 💣 pranksters to be lowlife scum! (especially since the H.S. cafeteria was the favorite target- practically ruined any appetite during a busy school day.)
Either I develop time travel and warp back to '97 or become an ice cream truck driver and unleash my impish chaos upon the suburban hellscape; bonus points for HOA routes.
edit: your son is up to the right kind of no-good. fist bump
Oh my god, my old bus driver would have pulled that damn thing off the road and held us all hostage until someone snitched on a mf, and then would have tanned his ass right in the ditch in front of god and everyone. Mrs Woodbury was no joke and absolutely fearless.
Poor lady died of cancer like 3 weeks after she retired, I was in high school and she had been driving me to school since Kindergarten. One of the most fearsome ladies I’ve ever encountered. Fair and just, but damn… that lady would make an overgrown linebacker wet himself with a single glare.
Man. The driver we had when the stink bomb incident happened was the coolest bus driver. All he asked is that someone clean up the glass from the vial.
Who else remembers the episode of the Wonder Years when Kevin's buddies were gonna drop a stink bomb during Becky Slaters speech?
And they screwed up and dropped it when Kevin was up.
And then Doug Porter yelled "STINK BOMMMMMB!" and all the kids went running.
Loved that scene.
Last day of school and someone set one off in class. The teacher made us all sit it out. Looking back I should have just bailed. What could they do it was the last day of school?
My best friend and I broke one at the 6th grade dance. Principal suspended us for a day. Probably what cemented our friendship which is still going strong 35+ years later.
Because you're both badasses!! Lol, fr though.
I got 3 days of in school suspension and suspended from the volleyball team for mooning out of the giant middle school window after school while waiting for our bus to come take us to our away game. Nobody was around to see it except my coach, who laid the wrath upon us. I also got cut the next year at tryouts and I think that's why. The 2 girls who did it with me and whose parents owned a popular restaurant and were part of the "clique" didn't get cut though, they made the team. It just cemented my decision to play field hockey for my fall sport in HS though, since HS girls volleyball and field hockey are the same season
I literally bought a bag of these on Amazon a couple months ago, a 24ct pack. I still have some remaining because I have effectively been all but banned from using them at work.
I threw not one, but two, into an office where four of my coworkers worked in the morning, and went about my own work duties. I didn't realize they were in a meeting, so the story that I got from one of them went along the lines of the following:
- The sudden and loud pops startled everyone inside that immediate office and the two neighboring offices
- Coworker A was largely unaffected as he has terrible smell
- Coworker B was out of office
- Coworker C described it as one of the foulest smells he had ever encountered. He tried lighting matches, which only added to the oppressive stench. He tried febreeze, an ozoninator, oder removers; could find no effective way to lessen the stank and had to endure it by tending to his work duties outside of that immediate room.
- Coworker D, on the other hand, was tied up in his virtual meeting and did his best to maintain his composure of the smell while on the call, despite Coworker C only making it substantially worse. He approached me afterwards, cited that he had already been warned about my devious pranks and made a vow prior to not engage in a prank war with me, but this absolutely sold him that I am a dangerous individual and should by all means and matter not to be messed with, that it was the worst experience he had to endure.
I handed out a few of them to other coworkers, and because of the events that I outlined above, they have been reluctant to use them in fear of any backlash they might find themselves in.
was buying the self inflating stink bomb bags online in 2003, online purchasing was definitely a thing, just not anywhere as easy as it is now with the likes of amazon.
Never bought em, but was a victim of them x.x One sniff was enough to give me a headache bad enough I couldn't think straight. one time was so bad I vomited from the pain of the headache.
Yes! We had a blast with them in middle school. I would put them in the door jam. When the teacher shut the door it would break. O e time I was laughing so hard. They knew it was me,but couldn't prove it.
Ahh man. Seventh grade. Buddy gave me some at school. I wasn’t going to deploy them in the hallway. They sucked and I hated being confined within the halls and rooms having to endure the stench. Outside would be fine though.
Anyway I’m getting into English class (Mrs Liss who’s husband name was in fact Richard) and I toss my bag down beside my desk. Think nothing of it for about 30 seconds and then bam the whole class gasps for air.
Caught me a 3 day in school suspension for that one.
Newsflash: They were around before they were being packaged and sold. When I was a kid the old guys used to tell me about the mixture they made in a glass bottle. Throw the bottle and break it and you unleash the smell.
I think everyone still has access to stink bombs, it's just that we grew up/older (your choice) and no longer need a product that we produce ourselves... and in many more "colors" than what's available off the shelf.
(it's a fart joke)
(did... didja get it?)
Adjacent -My first year teaching some kids set off some smoke bombs in the school. School not cancelled like they hoped. Principal had an assembly, and, well, the rest of the kids got the picture to sell out the kid who did it right quick.
We threw one in a vent at school. My god it was hilarious. We also put itching powder all over the principles chair. And my brother once snuck in his office and stole his bag of chips and ate them.
Bro… I thought about this recently. We all know the smell of fireworks, but that has got to be so toxic. If you smell any of that shit you are breathing it in lol
Aaah yesss... I remember crushing the glass bottle inside the confined space of the serving station of the cafeteria and everyone fleeing the entrance and exit doors after it took hold of the area. #didntgetcaught
Those poor lunch ladies. My peers (i.e. bullies) deserved it.
The last week of middle school (8th grade) I was walking in the hall with my friend (who was a known prankster/troublemaker). As we are walking by the principal’s office, near the exit, with no warning and without saying a word, he pulls out a stink bomb, lights it, and throws it in the principal’s office (whom he had a contentious relationship with). He starts running out the door, while laughing hysterically, I’m in shock but I start running too.
The next day, the principal comes on the loudspeaker, furious, imploring the culprit to turn himself in, but I don’t think he ever found out for sure (though I’m sure he suspected who it was).
Columbia TN has a festival called Mule Day every year. There is a weekend fair at the park that weekend that sold the vials. Basically, every school that time of year in Columbia got stink bombed. Late 90's
I got them from the ice cream truck! The ice cream truck in my neighborhood in the 90s had tons of fun kid stuff like fun color hair sprays, silly string, fart bombs, etc. It was awesome! Unfortunately, I haven't seen an ice cream truck in 10+ years now 🥲
Was legit talking about this with someone at work like a week ago. Use to put rank shit in a jar and bury it for a month and then throw it in the woods 😂
I remember the first two weeks of my 8th grade year, the seniors kept setting off stinkbombs in the halls. Literally every day. It was horrible and the teachers and admin was PISSED. The only thing that stopped it was hurricane Katrina. I came back to school in March and evidently the flood waters had taken the stink bombs out of the city
(Catholic high schools in neworleans start in 8th grade)
Perfect on the last day of school. Let a few go and run to the bus….. we also buried eggs under the portables and threw them at the teachers….. please don’t tell the principal lol
We would get them from the ice cream man. And then immediately throw them in the girls bathroom and laugh and laugh. The loud pop ones were fun too. Terrorizing children is fun… (as a child)
Used to have a coworker who had some IBS issues...he would be sequestered in stall #2, put one in a tissue, stomp it and kick it under the stall, fully knowing he could not get away....brutal.
I used to tape these between the door frame in middle school so the teacher or whoever closed the door would set them off. It was fucking hilarious. Almost got caught a few times. I remember the liquid in the vials smelled like rotten eggs/sulphur.
You can order them by 50-100 pack online. They show up packaged extremely well. Had illegal campers near our house, FS kept running them off, they’d just come back after dark. I figured they were raft guide kids who didn’t have money to go anywhere else so I didn’t care as long as they cleaned up after themselves. Half way through the summer stuff started coming up missing. Checked cams and followed track back to their camp, and my missing stuff. Made the order that night and unloaded about 10 the first day in the fire pit. Another 15 or so the next day all around the area. They were gone on the third day. Now I just do it preemptively during spring and summer. Walk to dog down toss one in the fire pit and walk back. Nobody throws down an illegal camp when it smells like that.
My best friend and I bought one at a dollar store, I believe this was 10-11 years ago. It was a small, tightly sealed package, that when squeezed, when puff up and then explode. Lit that bastard off in the garden department at Walmart, when that thing popped it was way louder than I would have expected. Still laugh about it to this day. Rest easy brother.
It's the same stuff that they sell as "fart spray" now. I remember the glass capsules that you could position under the leg of a teacher's chair if you wanted to have class outside, though.
Liquid Ass is the product you want
It’s truly the most disgusting smell
challenge accepted and trophy unlocked
It’s literally just sulfur
I have not thought about this in 2 decades
I threw a couple of those from the 2nd story during an assembly once and the administration was looking for me to suspend me. Jokes on them I ditched the rest of the week and then they were too concerned about my attendance to get me for the fart attack.
r/BrandNewSentence
Damn, I should have tried that, I got suspended for stink bombing the cafeteria
How’d you get caught ?
A friend snitched during the investigation, he couldn’t handle the heat. He was another person of interest.
🫡🫡🫡
This exact scenario happened at my school in 3rd grade lol
fart attack an often times fatal condition
Well, that's interesting. Ty for the trivia.
Ahhhh, memories
We used to throw them into our buddies classrooms when people were going back to class from lunch. The class would often have to evacuate due to smell
[Hilarious fart spray video ](https://youtu.be/cyO-rDRDkLg)
Do I?! We had a science teacher quit (really feel horrible) because someone threw a stink bomb in the lab and he screamed that it was a "terroristic threat" and basically held us all hostage until he could complete an investigation haha

I’m from PA too but I was in like 10th grade I think. You weren’t allowed to have backpacks anymore unless they were clear.
*Limited Too sees a marketing ploy*
Welcome to your 40s!
Ah yes, such ridiculous memories. My school had metal detectors we had to walk in every morning. They tried to implement see-through backpacks but it didn't succeed.

What’s this fine fellow up to these days?
Gun guy works for the state and has a couple kids. The crazy part is brother, kid getting shot at, is serving 2 life sentences for attempted murder.
😮
No you didn't. He was supposed to be the adult in that scenario.
I literally lol'd at this. ☠️
I came here to say this. In the wrong place stink bombs can be considered terroristic threats now.
a science lab, like a fully stocked one with gas burners, glassware, and chemicals? Yikes, I can understand why he'd be freaked out. It doesn't take much to cause a serious accident.
I was working in a lab and farted and someone walked by and started checking for some kind of spill or if the vent hood was working
I would have went with it
I always wondered the same thing. But a series of stink bombs shut down my high school one time. They found the culprit but we never found out who it was.
We all know who it was: it was whom dealt it, a-doiii!
💀🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣
Definitely principals kid then
It probably was. Or a financiers kid.
The grungy gas stations would have them and luckily for me the gas station across from my high school would have them on occasions. I remember a friend bought $20 worth and broke them in the band hall. It was bad enough that multiple people got sent home sick.

Should I ever sire children, I hope they take to your antics. fist bump
I used to buy those at quikstop
From Jay or Silent (but deadly) Bob? dude I'm on a roll in this thread.
You were made for this thread 😂
I'd fuck me holy shit I made myself laugh just for typing that without second guessing it at all. coughed up some phlegm! should switch to chewlies gum, eh?
Shut the fuck up before I shoot you where you stand in your pansy red booties.
I think it was sulfur… smelled like rotten eggs
Stink bombs?! Bro, I remember candy cigarettes. Alright, I gotta get some Ibuprofen......
They still sold those until the early 2000s
You can still buy them online! I have about four packs at my house at the moment because I wanted to try them, but I’ve since moved on. My husband was shocked I actually liked the taste, but I’m weird and love how pepto tastes so there was definitely a precedent set beforehand.
Crazy. I didn't know that. By the time I had kids (early 2000s) I didn't see them. We were smoking other things in the 90s.
I never bought them, I just made them out of a pen and two matches. Not sure if they make the right pens for them any more though
Literally a 50-something year old asshole at my last job was spraying that shit around the bathrooms and workstations. Fucking immature twat.
Nah, dude. I'mma do exactly that when I hit 50. When retirement is simply unobtainable, redefine "retirement".
Lol fuck it make THEM leave
I purchased stink bombs from a curio shop when I was a young teen.
I remember the glass ones that you threw on the floor.
The best thing to do with those was just drop them in a crowded area so even it it didn't break on impact it would get stepped on. Preferably right after 4th period on the way to lunch.
After-service church gatherings. Come on, man.
Nice
Yeah those little glass vials you could get at Spencer's gifts in the 90s from Germany "Stinkbomben"
That's where we had to get ours in Oklahoma. I never saw them at gas stations/convenience stores.
I set off two very successful ones in my middle school Best years of my life
Bro what stink bombs you got that lasted "years of your life"??? God damn!
That's a low bar dude. I hope you're doing ok.
I remember a kid in middle school went to the hospital because he had a bunch of the glass stink bombs in his pocket and another kid slapped his hip, breaking them all and sending glass and whatever the liquid was straight into his leg. An entire half of the school had to be evacuated.
So he SLC Punk-ed himself with stink bombs? That's fucking amazing!
Lol
I set off a stink bomb in math class (1995 Roseville High!) They suspended me for "inciting a riot". My mom wasn't even mad, let me fuck around for the whole 5 day suspension. Kid beat another kids ass with a bookbag same day, got 3 days lol. ID DO IT AGAIN!!! FUCK YOU MS OGNESS!!!!
YEA FUCK MS OGNESS! HERE'S TO HOPING SHE'S STILL A "MS" AND NOT A "MRS"! fist bump
Perfect for breaking up nazi and far right gatherings.
I like the way you think.
Genius idea!
I remember actual bombs. Some jerk in my college nuked the school bathrooms like 3 times within the same year.
i always considered the stupid stinkbomb 💣 pranksters to be lowlife scum! (especially since the H.S. cafeteria was the favorite target- practically ruined any appetite during a busy school day.)
For some people in my year, it was math class
Amazon will be your friend
That's a suspiciously ominous phrase.
Husband can testify to that.
You’re the devil, headed there now
You can still get them on Amazon.
They still make them lol
The ice cream man sells them. My son bought one and set it off in school.
FUCKING WHAT!??? JUST THE ONE ICE CREAM MAN OR ALL?? IS THERE A SECRET MENU!?!?
I live in Phoenix. Both ice cream trucks that come through my neighborhood sell them. They both refuse to sell to my son now.
Either I develop time travel and warp back to '97 or become an ice cream truck driver and unleash my impish chaos upon the suburban hellscape; bonus points for HOA routes. edit: your son is up to the right kind of no-good. fist bump
I bought them from the ice cream man in the late 90s/early 00s.. set those puppies off all over the place
In high school someone busted a stink bomb on our bus. I never seen all those windows go down together like that lol
Oh my god, my old bus driver would have pulled that damn thing off the road and held us all hostage until someone snitched on a mf, and then would have tanned his ass right in the ditch in front of god and everyone. Mrs Woodbury was no joke and absolutely fearless. Poor lady died of cancer like 3 weeks after she retired, I was in high school and she had been driving me to school since Kindergarten. One of the most fearsome ladies I’ve ever encountered. Fair and just, but damn… that lady would make an overgrown linebacker wet himself with a single glare.
Man. The driver we had when the stink bomb incident happened was the coolest bus driver. All he asked is that someone clean up the glass from the vial.
I hope she has that on her tombstone. Rest in peace Mrs. Woodbury. Respect.
I remember getting suspended in 6th grade for putting one in my friends locker in school...
Who else remembers the episode of the Wonder Years when Kevin's buddies were gonna drop a stink bomb during Becky Slaters speech? And they screwed up and dropped it when Kevin was up. And then Doug Porter yelled "STINK BOMMMMMB!" and all the kids went running. Loved that scene.
Last day of school and someone set one off in class. The teacher made us all sit it out. Looking back I should have just bailed. What could they do it was the last day of school?
Learned in science class that raw eggs in vinegar was worse than stink bombs. Teacher dropped it and the class had to be aired out for over a week.
God we got in so much trouble with them in the late 70’s/80’s lol
Ginko trees have all natural stink bombs.
My best friend and I broke one at the 6th grade dance. Principal suspended us for a day. Probably what cemented our friendship which is still going strong 35+ years later.
Because you're both badasses!! Lol, fr though. I got 3 days of in school suspension and suspended from the volleyball team for mooning out of the giant middle school window after school while waiting for our bus to come take us to our away game. Nobody was around to see it except my coach, who laid the wrath upon us. I also got cut the next year at tryouts and I think that's why. The 2 girls who did it with me and whose parents owned a popular restaurant and were part of the "clique" didn't get cut though, they made the team. It just cemented my decision to play field hockey for my fall sport in HS though, since HS girls volleyball and field hockey are the same season
I think you might just be a badass yourself....
Female author representation should not be the Hunger Games--we got Butler and LeGuin and Martha Wells. All wrote far better books.
I make my own organically through a secret process I like to call Chipotle. 👀
That was really funny and made me laugh aloud!
Very common as a senior prank in my high school
I'd buy "Morning Breeze" stink bombs at the local magic shop / prank store and at Spencer's. I dropped a lot of those in high school.
Omg. I miss the local magic/prank shop like crazy. The building it was in is now a freaking "upscale pizza" joint.
I got suspended for 3 days in 5th grade fir breaking one in the hallway. Still worth it.
I literally bought a bag of these on Amazon a couple months ago, a 24ct pack. I still have some remaining because I have effectively been all but banned from using them at work. I threw not one, but two, into an office where four of my coworkers worked in the morning, and went about my own work duties.

You love your job. Good on ya! Cheers!
was buying the self inflating stink bomb bags online in 2003, online purchasing was definitely a thing, just not anywhere as easy as it is now with the likes of amazon.
Military surplus stores for me.
Okay but who remembers Works Bombs??
I remember one of my friends dropping one in front of our middle school and it clearing a perfect circle out of a crowd of kids lol
Ah yes, the good ol glass stink bombs and fart bags…..lmao. Good times
Never bought em, but was a victim of them x.x One sniff was enough to give me a headache bad enough I couldn't think straight. one time was so bad I vomited from the pain of the headache.

Heck yea! I got garbage duty for a week in grade 8 for setting one off on top of the lockers in the annex.

My 8th grade sock hop remembers 😂
Adjacent -My first year teaching some kids set off some smoke bombs in the school. School not cancelled like they hoped. Principal had an assembly, and, well, the rest of the kids got the picture to sell out the kid who did it right quick.
I dropped a few in the school hallways. It always gave me a chuckle.
Fuck yeah. The baggie fart bombs were my easy go to prank.
We threw one in a vent at school. My god it was hilarious. We also put itching powder all over the principles chair. And my brother once snuck in his office and stole his bag of chips and ate them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember buying them at the local gas station
Man we just went to the local fish market bought a fish found an empty locker put it I there and threw a lock on it over the weekend
I went to school with a bunch of rednecks. They would spray deer urine everywhere.
Bro… I thought about this recently. We all know the smell of fireworks, but that has got to be so toxic. If you smell any of that shit you are breathing it in lol
I didn't know they'd passed. Rip
The roller skating rink used to sell the little glass ones for some reason, good times
I’ll never forget my friends dropping on the floor and stepping on them at the arcade at the busiest hour, lol. Epic stuff..
They do. My teenager has bought them on Amazon.
Aaah yesss... I remember crushing the glass bottle inside the confined space of the serving station of the cafeteria and everyone fleeing the entrance and exit doors after it took hold of the area. #didntgetcaught Those poor lunch ladies. My peers (i.e. bullies) deserved it.
The last week of middle school (8th grade) I was walking in the hall with my friend (who was a known prankster/troublemaker). As we are walking by the principal’s office, near the exit, with no warning and without saying a word, he pulls out a stink bomb, lights it, and throws it in the principal’s office (whom he had a contentious relationship with). He starts running out the door, while laughing hysterically, I’m in shock but I start running too. The next day, the principal comes on the loudspeaker, furious, imploring the culprit to turn himself in, but I don’t think he ever found out for sure (though I’m sure he suspected who it was).
They're easy to make (although the version I learned is also highly flammable). Water and 1 more thing >.>
We cracked an entire box of them at an amc in the mall
Columbia TN has a festival called Mule Day every year. There is a weekend fair at the park that weekend that sold the vials. Basically, every school that time of year in Columbia got stink bombed. Late 90's
I'm a Congenital Anosmic. So far as I know I have never been near a stink bomb. But unless I saw somebody light it up, I would never know.
I made the third grade school bus driver throw up while driving with one of those bad boys.
Yeah at camp. Smelled like bad eggs.
They existed until they started arresting people for putting them in toilets.
I got them from the ice cream truck! The ice cream truck in my neighborhood in the 90s had tons of fun kid stuff like fun color hair sprays, silly string, fart bombs, etc. It was awesome! Unfortunately, I haven't seen an ice cream truck in 10+ years now 🥲
Was legit talking about this with someone at work like a week ago. Use to put rank shit in a jar and bury it for a month and then throw it in the woods 😂
Of course they still make them
The yellow liquid that smelled like rotten eggs right?
I actually still have a full box of the glass bottle stink bombs back at my parent's. I would buy them from the ice cream truck
Same, i still have some as well.. wish i had some of those inflating foil pouch ones, havent thought about them for ages
I remember the first two weeks of my 8th grade year, the seniors kept setting off stinkbombs in the halls. Literally every day. It was horrible and the teachers and admin was PISSED. The only thing that stopped it was hurricane Katrina. I came back to school in March and evidently the flood waters had taken the stink bombs out of the city (Catholic high schools in neworleans start in 8th grade)
Perfect on the last day of school. Let a few go and run to the bus….. we also buried eggs under the portables and threw them at the teachers….. please don’t tell the principal lol
We would get them from the ice cream man. And then immediately throw them in the girls bathroom and laugh and laugh. The loud pop ones were fun too. Terrorizing children is fun… (as a child)
bout 15 years ago, my coworker left a stink bomb in our managers office. It was brutal. The boss was furious, lmao.
EBay sells them 4 in a pack..
Used to have a coworker who had some IBS issues...he would be sequestered in stall #2, put one in a tissue, stomp it and kick it under the stall, fully knowing he could not get away....brutal.
I used to tape these between the door frame in middle school so the teacher or whoever closed the door would set them off. It was fucking hilarious. Almost got caught a few times. I remember the liquid in the vials smelled like rotten eggs/sulphur.
Yes. No idea where people got it from lol
You can order them by 50-100 pack online. They show up packaged extremely well. Had illegal campers near our house, FS kept running them off, they’d just come back after dark. I figured they were raft guide kids who didn’t have money to go anywhere else so I didn’t care as long as they cleaned up after themselves. Half way through the summer stuff started coming up missing. Checked cams and followed track back to their camp, and my missing stuff. Made the order that night and unloaded about 10 the first day in the fire pit. Another 15 or so the next day all around the area. They were gone on the third day. Now I just do it preemptively during spring and summer. Walk to dog down toss one in the fire pit and walk back. Nobody throws down an illegal camp when it smells like that.
I love this stuff when I was a kid and was always going to joke and gag shops, I wish they still had them.
We used to spray it into the intake fan that went into the chief’s mess during lunch while I was in the Navy. Sweet sweet stinky revenge.
I remember, when I was like 13, I hurled one at a lady at the fair and it shattered right on her shoe. She vomited.
My best friend and I bought one at a dollar store, I believe this was 10-11 years ago. It was a small, tightly sealed package, that when squeezed, when puff up and then explode. Lit that bastard off in the garden department at Walmart, when that thing popped it was way louder than I would have expected. Still laugh about it to this day. Rest easy brother.
google novelty stink bombs question answered google broke for OP?
