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.

Enjoy!

      No… it's not 'Totally irrelevant' to this conversation. ASSAULT IS ASSAULT!
      
      There is ZERO possibility of someone being convicted of a FART BOMB offence because there is no offence on the books specifically in regards to the usage of FART BOMBS!!!

      Assault is absolutely and totally irrelevant, because you have not told us of any criminal offense of "Assault with a fart bomb".
      
      Whilst the smell might be considered offensive, that doesn't mean it is a criminal offence to cause that offense. Because if it was, then the act of farting using traditional methods would also need to be made criminal offence.
      
      Pranksters might even consider a Fart Bomb as a tool, like a lawn mower is a tool - a mechanised way to achieve an end result whilst using less human effort. The method of delivery of the end result doesn't change how offensive it is.
      
      There is ZERO possibility of someone being convicted of a FART BOMB offence because there is no offence on the books specifically in regards to the usage of FART BOMBS!!!

      245 Definition of assault
      (1) A person who strikes, touches, or moves, or otherwise applies
      force of any kind to, the person of another, either directly or
      indirectly, without the other person’s consent, or with the
      other person’s consent if the consent is obtained by fraud, or
      who by any bodily act or gesture attempts or threatens to
      apply force of any kind to the person of another without the
      other person’s consent, under such circumstances that the
      person making the attempt or threat has actually or apparently
      a present ability to effect the person’s purpose, is said to
      assault that other person, and the act is called an assault.
      (2) In this section—
      applies force includes the case of applying heat, light,
      electrical force, gas, odour, or any other substance or thing
      whatever if applied in such a degree as to cause injury or
      personal discomfort.

      Which is lovely and all, however it's STILL fundamentally, practically and legally irrelevant to Fart Bomb prank toys.
      
      However, I have certainly felt the effects from overzealous law enforcement officers. So to be 100% safe from police persecution, it might be wise to NEVER fart in Queensland.

      Anyway, I'm still interested in reading your evidence that anyone has EVER been charged and convicted with the offence of Assault following the 'detonation' of a Fart Bomb.
      
      If it's "relatively easy to support an assault charge using one of these" like you said in your first post, then surely the cops would have used their years of training to make it stick at least once?

      @llama: It's nothing, it is not regulated under any legislation enforced by the police but if you happen to use it and the smell causes discomfort to a person then you've committed an assault, plain and simple.
      
      It definately isn't regulated under Weapons Act if that's what your inferring. An assault weapon would probably be considered a Category R or M

      Hmmm… so you've personally seen that happen? Call me skeptical, but I doubt the truth of this claim. I don't remember any such cases being reported in the Australian media (ever), let alone multiple occurrences of it. Or are you perhaps referring to a case in the US, that you did not in fact 'see' (i.e. witness)?
      
      Anyways, your assertion is completely irrelevant for various reasons that I'm sure you will appreciate if you give the matter just a little bit more thought.

      … but if you happen to use it and the smell causes discomfort to a person then you've committed an assault, plain and simple.
      
      No, not 'plain and simple' at all. I can cut up a durian fruit in a public place, FULLY KNOWING that the the smell of it will 'cause discomfort' (to use your words) to some people, and there is not a judge in the land that would convict me of 'assault'. 'Discomfort' does not equal injury. Note also that in this example, there is no actual intent (you will realise the significance of that word in a legal sense, if you do in fact have any criminal law training, or work in law enforcement) to 'assault' anyone. Temporarily 'assaulting' someone's olfactory senses (causing them to smell something bad) is not deemed to be the same as physically assaulting them under Australian law; because that would be completely ridiculous.

I wonder what kind of toxic waste they package up these days to sell as a Fart Bomb. They have always been a "you paid money for that shit" kinda thing.

  I suspect it's not much more than vinegar, bicarbonate soda and sulfur. It was definitely a sulfurous smell they made.

  The user manuals bundled with them are often even better. Though the last thing I bought (a $10 video player for a kid) had no manual and was too confusing to use. I threw it away after the seller offered to give me an 89 cent refund.

Wow, what a blast from the past!

I used to make money selling these at school for $2 a pop, buying for $1 each at my local milkbar. Our school had asked all the local milkbars to stop stocking these, but I came from further away than most and my local still sold them. Imagine how much money I could have made if I had AliExpress back in the 90s!

I think some people might be putting up a stink when the package arrives.

I just caught wind of this review from the Netherlands (in broken English):
"The fart bomb has explode in transit, so by delivered the sealed bag was damaged and wet."

Although my broken-English translating skills are hit-and-miss, my interpretation of that sentence is that "the fart bomb" and "sealed bag" are one and the same, and the count of fart bombs is 1 (with a 74.3% confidence level).

Perhaps the seller will claim he thought one fart bag produces the equivalent of 72 Olf, Olf being the unit for sensory pollution strength (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olf_(unit)).

    I am so sorry about this,

  I personally put in a 'Open Dispute' with the seller where I was refunded 59c.
  Hello, I made this order at time & date: 01:05 Jun. 29 2016 and it was advertised as 72 pieces. I then asked the seller though a message if the order would be 72 pieces. He stated it was 72 and would be dispatched soon. Please see my message history. I was then told AFTER payment that one one item only would be sent. I feel the seller was fraudulent in stating (72 bags) in his advertisement. For this I would like a full refund of 59c from the seller. Thank you. Mr. XXXX
