    Could be bromine. It’s a reddish brown liquid that’s highly corrosive and toxic and is typically fused into ampules for storage, as it gives off toxic fumes.

    Be careful to not break it or get it too warm until you know for sure what it is.

    Any number of chemicals or medicines. Hard to say if it’s always been brown or the colour is due to degradation. Firefighters would probably be the best idea. Or like a hazardous chemical waste.

    Just be careful not to break it open.

    That really looks like an old school glass stinkbomb. Except the liquid isn’t yellow.

    Edit: added image

      I decided to have a trial run with one of those in the sixth grade cafeteria. It certainly did the job, and I had some time with the vice principal.

      Itch powder also works.

        Yes! I used to buy all this shit at a magic store in the Burlington Center, a NJ mall. Even got the cigar charges and put one in my brothers cigarette. Hilarious, but it led to a pretty epic beating.

          The exploding cigarette is hilarious! These days adult me thinks damn, that’s dangerous, but the kid is still in there laughing.

          Was your brother ok, and did you get to watch it blow up?!

      It’s not yellow probably because of how old it is and potentially the sun discoloring it. I’m betting someone dropped it or hoped someone would step on it and it would be a funny beach gag. That’s my guess anyway.

      What you posted is exactly what popped in my mind when I saw it as well.
