stinkbomb

Malodorous mischief device

A stinkbomb is a small device that releases a foul smell when broken or activated, used as a prank.

The classic version is a glass vial of hydrogen sulfide or similar compound that shatters when thrown: Someone set off a stinkbomb in the cafeteria.

Figuratively, anything that creates a noxious situation: His resignation letter was a stinkbomb.
