stink bombs
Odorous gag devices
Stink bombs are small containers designed to release a foul-smelling substance when broken or activated.
They're classic prank items, typically sold in novelty shops, containing compounds like ammonium sulfide that produce a rotten-egg odor.
Someone set off a stink bomb in the hallway and we had to evacuate.
The term extends metaphorically to anything that creates an unpleasant situation or fails spectacularly: The movie was a real stink bomb at the box office.
