Evening all!

I'm posting this not to necessarily endorse Fart Bombs, but to trigger any positive/negative nostalgic thoughts people might have.

Oh, and they're pretty damn cheap too.

31% discount; It popped up in my 'pranks' search today for the first time, so doubt it's ever been this cheap.

TA's contribution of 7.25% http://www.cashrewards.com.au/search/aliexpress will bring it down to 55c delivered. That's 0.76c per bag!

These are the relatively harmless ammonium sulphide and water bags (if used appropriately). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stink_bomb

YouTube is full of some pretty lame video demonstrations/pranks. I'll leave a few here, but I'm sure we all remember when we used one or one was used near us.

      Snowflake's chance in Hell.

      Their main competitor eBay owns PayPal. Heck, eBay single handedly turned PayPal into the behemoth it is today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal
      PayPal often charge POS conversion fees that distort the true price you thought you were paying - Alipay does not do this.
      Alipay protection is great http://activities.aliexpress.com/adcms/www-aliexpress-com/bu… and as blighst stated is similar to PayPal.

      Pros and cons for sure, but AliExpress payments aren't terrible by any means.

          They are practically one and the same. Legal separation means little to the consumer when they behave the same as when ebay legally owned paypal.

      • resisting the urge on 10/07/2016 - 23:36

        @rawm
        On what grounds?

        PayPal is bad enough, but a PayPal controlled by the CCP? How is it not terrible too?

        Besides, how do you do execute the transaction without sending all your data into the Chinese Intranet for everyone+dog to record and access?

        Imagine explaining how you lost your identity, maxed out your credit cards etc, buying fart jokes online.

        OzB is a culture of fun yes, but this is hardly a joke without victims.

    I used to use them in school assembly. Stunk up the entire gym. You could physically see the spread of the smell, as rows and rows of people would scrunch up their nose and look around for the culprit. Although, it wasn't this type, it was these.
    I would appreciate a link if anyone knows where they're sold now. I have a colleague in the office I rather dislike, and I think I can get them a reputation for being the stinky one if I regularly crush one of those near them.

    The following, erm, 'specs' supplied by the seller for this product had me in stitches!!!

    Description: Although it's just a bag, but you gently squeeze it a bit, and then threw it open, a little later, it will explode (absolutely safe,
    Features:
    1, a not only brings surprises, exciting, and very safe the entire toy.
    2, lightweight, it forces (such as: fire, etc.).
    3, using food-grade packaging, security
    4
    5, gravure printing, bright color, exquisite.
    6, the product never before unused timeliness.

    With 'specs' like these, who needs witty puns?!? I particularly love that spec #4 has simply been deleted, without explanation (yet they have left the blank line there, rather than adjusting the number of specs supplied to a total of 5). I've never seen any company do that before. It begs the question, what was spec #4, that turned out to be false/had to be 'unclaimed'… I hope it had nothing to do with being flammable!!! lol

        Lololol, yeppers I wondered that too. But ALL the 'specs' are cryptically hilarious in their own way, apart from perhaps #1. I mean:

        2: "lightweight, it forces … fire, etc"
        I'm pretty sure the product is not meant to 'force a fire'!?!

        3: "using food-grade packaging …"
        Why? In case someone wants to EAT the fake fart?!?

        4: I still want to know wtf this claim was, before it was retracted.

        5: 'Gravure' and 'exquisite' seem very odd words to use to describe a fake fart!!! Even to a hardened fart enthusiast…

        6: mmmyeah… WTF?

    I have quite a lot of experience with these, and this particular brand is NOT much good. Not potent, makes a wet mess on the ground but only emits a TINY amount of smelly gas.

    Liquid Ass is also pretty poor. The smell is wrong and also not potent.

    The glass vial ones (from Chile) are probably the best in my opinion.

    • Findo on 29/06/2016 - 00:16

        However it doesn't smell like farts (which is kind of the whole idea).

        And Liquid Ass smells horrid in the bottle, but when spread around a room it's got no real "clout". Most people never even notice it.

          ROFL @ explosive device? You've never actually seen a Fart Bomb, have you?

          What you are saying is about as logical as convicting a shopkeeper for the sale of pop rocks. Or water bombs … what about those - only an offence in Winter?

          It's a criminal offence, nothing frivolous about it!

          I have seen a fart bomb and am well aware of what they are, under the legislative definition they would be considered an explosive device due to the means of operation.

          I am not fully conversant in Fair Trading legislation regarding the sale of pop rocks or water bombs.

          There is a reason why you haven't found any references to this in Australia. Because there is none. It is caught by a 'catch all' legislation and the definition of assault is well and truly separate to any legislation that may be applicable to fart bombs

          I take that as confirmation that nobody has ever been changed or convicted.

          In which case, it sounds like a load of bulls*** and hot air.

          Yeah, yeah… whatever. Totally irrelevant to this conversation.

          How many people have been convicted of FART BOMB offences in Australia?

          (probably the same number as who've been convicted for assault with cooked asparagus spears)
