Abstract
A novelty noise making, odor generating Apparatus is provided having a clear beaker made of glass or plastic provides visual access to an interior volume. A removable stopper seals the interior volume of the beaker, which contains a colored gas having a humorously offensive odor. A base is provided for mounting the beaker in statue form, with a nameplate mounted thereto to provide a humorously offensive description of the colored gas. A stopper for providing fluid communication between the beaker's interior and exterior volumes is included forming an interior conduit and having a reed or bendable flap extends outward from the conduit wall to create an impediment to fluid flow through the conduit. When the stopper is placed into or removed from the beaker opening, the differential pressure created across the reed or bendable flap causes a momentary vibration, thereby generating an incremental noise.
