[FLYING SAUCER]

How about those little cardboard boxes with 3 glass ampules of yellowish liquid in that you got for 50p and were made in Germany? Tread on em and phewwweee They had STINKBOMBEN on the side of the box?

Funsnaps, quite loud cracks were emmited by throwing a little white twist of paper at the ground?

Bet they banned everything like than now!

We used to buy both of these in huge quantities from the local joke shop every time a group of Brownies came to stay in "our" village hall, and would make their stay a misery! God knows what their Brown Owl though of us - we were usually a nice little bunch of kids but for some reason turned into a feral mob every time they came to stay!

Our local stores never sold stinkbombs. Fun snaps, yes. I made my own stink bombs from the crude chemicals in my chemistry sets. Seem to recall it was Iron Sulphide and Sodium Bisulphate. Made boiling tubes full of the stuff! And I think Fun Snaps were just Picric Acid crystals wrapped in paper, although I could never get any of this.

Big Let Down - Bought a Stinkbomb for 20p from one of those kiddies vending machines on newsagents walls (I have a fascination for these machines still) My Husband stamped on it in the front porch, we both stood there waiting for the humongous results.........NOTHING! The worst waste of a 20p EVER! Hardly any smell - If Thats Life Team were still investigating I am sure for dissapointment value it would appear on the show - Health and Safety have even removed the eggy smell from our STINKBOMBS - I rest my case.....................

I bought two trade boxes full of proper German style stink bombs. Used a few in some random shops for a laugh and they proper stink! One Co - Op I let one off in STUNK for hours! I also chose the technology dept of John Lewis as it was in the basement with no windows....ha ha. They are the type Flying Saucer mentioned...I even bought stink bomb bags - they let off a loud bang too - not as smelly but the bangs quite funny...Still got loads...hmmmm!
