Stink Bombs: Rotten Eggs, Human Waste, Rotting Garbage And Skunk Smell

Published: April 24, 2007
The mischief of creating olfactory surprises for nasty neighbors and friends is a part of adolescence. This can only mean one thing: stink bombs. Even if one hasn't engaged in the act of making or buying any stink bombs, we've all seen them in movies and have heard about the havoc that they cause.
Stink bombs have been popular for years especially with the teenager crowd.
They range in severity from small pranks to military issued chemical reactants. The less dangerous kind generally used by teenagers are made up of a chemical called ammonium sulfide. When exposed to oxygen this chemical smells like rotten eggs.
Another popular smell associate is a skunk smell. The chemicals involved in this kind of stink bomb are methyl mercaptan and ethyl mercaptan. These are the same chemicals added to a real skunk smell and natural gas. When released into the air, these chemicals also react to the moisture in the air to produce the unpleasant skunk smell.
While single smelling stink bombs are certainly popular, any adolescent knows that the most powerful stink bombs incorporate several pungent smells. Some of the most popular use a combination of smells including rotting garbage, human waste, and burnt hair. The trio of smells prove to be far more lethal than a single smell because the olfactory organs are overloaded with bad smells.
Generally, the chemicals used in stink bombs are a lower molecular weight because the lower weighted chemicals tend to leave a stench for a longer period of time than heavier chemicals. Some of the most common chemicals used include Butanethiol for a skunk smell, Hydrogen sulfide for a rotten eggs smell, Propanoic acid for a perspiration smell, and Skatole for a smell of human waste. There are many other chemicals used, but these are the most popular.
Stink bombs have become one of the sneakiest and best ways to get back at someone. For this reason, they can be purchased at a wide range of stores and sites. Stores like Spencer's and sites like Fakecrap.com sell several different varieties. The stink bombs usually come in capsules and are broken by the sole of a shoe or by being smashed against something hard, like a wall. They are usually sold 3 capsules to a package, and range in price from $0.80 to $1.00 per package.
Whether playing a prank or planning something a little more sinister, stink bombs are an effective way to leave a lasting impression on an enemy or friend. Everything from rotten eggs to human waste to rotting garbage can be used in one's arsenal to get back at someone. Just make sure not to be on the receiving end. It's a pain to clean the smell of rotten eggs out of a sweater.
