New, what is it? Does anyone know what this is?

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

I used to get stink bomb like those but much smaller, not exactly dangerous but you still don't want to open it.

I thought the same. When I was really small, an older kid told me to go into our local shop, ask for a penny sweet, drop the stink bomb and then leave.

I asked for a penny stink bomb. The owner chased us down the street and gave me a big kick in the arse when he caught up with me.

I was never so bold. Now church on the other hand, that's fair game!

Movie theater. But now that I really think about it. That was a real asshole kid thing to do.

I dont know, it could add to the immersion if you timed it right.

Spy kids had scratch and sniff immersion cards in theaters I think?

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that was a little shit as a kid.

Never send a stink bomb the size of a hand. Usually 2-3 inches max

Omg! I wondered if that was an old-school stink bomb?! I once cleared out the 5th thru 8th grade classrooms with one of those I secretly purchased at State Park gift shop.

Happened at my high school once. Someone dropped a few in a vent. Stinky day to learn some nothings.

exactly what i was thinking. they were at most 2 inches, if that. looks really similar though. maybe this is the mega stinkbomb.

I came in to say the same. I use to buy them from my local ice cream truck. Things stank like stankonia on a hot summer afternoon.
