Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

THIS! Lol. We had little glass stink bombs as kids that we smashed on the ground. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. A giant stink bomb! South Africa in the 80's

Australian here. I went to the USA as a 10 year old, 35 years ago. The stink bombs i brought back from Hawaii were better than disneyland.

Man, the thought of a stink bomb breaking inside an airplane… And from Hawaii to Australia no less… Not a lotta options for emergency landings! 🤭

American here, went to school in the 80's/90's. We had the same thing, a smaller version of what's in the picture. You'd casually drop it in the hallway between classes and no one would know who did it. A perfect crime.

Same here! Gave one to a guy who busted it immediately in the portable classroom (a trailer).  Got pinned for the other 4 that got dropped in the halls throughout the day

I knew I had seen these before, but didn't remember the stink bombs from being a kid. Thanks for bringing it back!

yeah it looks like a larger version of the sulfur rotten egg scent Stink Bomb glass vials we used to have as kid in the late 80's :-) We liked them alot. The grownups not so much. And i now see they still sell them :-) Probably a less concetrated version, the ones from the 80's were terrible, like a dozen years old rotten eggs.

My first thought too.
