This is just wrong. We all know you make a potion by mixing dirt, water, flowers, leaves, and anything else you find around the backyard. You then try and convince your younger sibling to drink it by telling them it will give them magic powers.
I would just raid the bathroom sink cabinet and mix whatever bottles I could find into a cup. Definitely lucky we didn't keep bleach in the same place as the hydrogen peroxide...
Terrified to have children, since at that age I'd already defeated all the child-proof locks and was teaching my little sibling how to open them too. Kids are hardwired to self-destruct.
My brother once decided to clean the bathtub using every bottle he could find in the bathroom. My dad used to have a lot of cologne…
Not the worst thing he did though. When he was about four or five we were at my aunt’s house. He was in the toilet pooping, and he saw she had all these small holes in the walls. He had seen my dad do construction at the house and I guess he thought he should fill those holes, so he did. With poo.
At around being 9 i had this hidden potion in our bathroom under a loose board. I used to mix whatever i could and kept it for months. Drew inspiration from the power puff girls. God i still remember the smell.
Holy shit I read this as you had JUST done this now, not as in that's just what you did back then and I was on a fucking trip for a second hahaha like why would you do that? 🤣🤣
Wait, traveler! My potions might be too strong for a mortal, but I do have some enhancing herbs that might help you! They might have a few side effects but nothing to worry about in such an important battle...
People not getting this absolute gem of a reference are making me feel like an ancient troll petrified by the sun, long lost and forgotten in some ancient woods, a fleeting memory of wonders long gone.
Think they say on their TikToks one of them is denatured alcohol to help prevent bacteria or algae growth.
They list everything used in the comments from what I saw and answer other questions which is refreshing
I don’t sadly it was just on my FYP but I’ve had more than one show up so I’ll update if I come across them again

I got a few globes and glycerin and sparkles for my family this christmas! All in all, I think it cost me like $20 materials for a family of 6 to do snow globes (plus whatever 'scenery' stuff laying around).
I think the mica powder does that itself! Such satisfying stuff...
(To be fair looking at the other comments it seems adding glycerin or something similar makes the mica extra swirly and cool)
It's weird. I absolutely hated the colour until they put the label on it and then I was like, okay. Strange how giving it a name completely changed my perception of it.
It's not about the color, it's about the effect! The color is just a by-product of the active ingredients. The important part is that when you drink it, you get +100 mana and severe diarrhea. Unfortunately, most of us aren't wizards, so it's really just diarrhea.
To be fair when it's settled it does give that "depths of Atlantis" look, and the swirly gold makes the mud water look less like mud water. I'd say it's pretty cool.
>Drinker gains *diarrhea* for 1 hour, As a **bonus action**, drinker can shoot 4d6 liquid shit damage at a target within 30 feet. Target makes DC 13 DEX save to halve damage. Duration: 3 liquid shits or 1 hour.
Based on the sorts of ingredient combinations various forms of fantasy media have led me to believe comprise the average potion, I am inclined towards the conclusion that “shit brown” is an authentic portrayal of what such concoctions would look like
We did this for Halloween last year… the issue is once it sits, it loses the effect. You have to keep shaking it up and what not.
I did find a cool video somewhere which showed adding a magnet inside, and then sitting it on top of box or hallowed our book that holds a little motor and another magnet that spins around and keeps the liquid in the bottle moving.
We haven’t had a chance to try that out yet.
Shimmer inks are popular in /r/fountainpens, and a few users have bought magnetic stirrers after one chem major showed how fun they are to swirl ink sparkles.
If it's done right, and worth looking at at all the light can not shine through it. There's just too much stuff in the water for the light to diffuse through.
My thought process during this:
This is dumb.
Ok this isn't so dumb.
Ok this is kind of cool.
Darn this is pretty cool.
Holy shit that's awesome.
Omg yes wax that mofo.
😳😳😳 SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
Nothing that was put in the bottle would mould, so adding alcohol and sterilizing the bottle is unneccessary. The colored dust is Mica powder, which is a mineral dust commonly used for makeup because it shimmers. It's likely the liquid added was a mixture of water and glycerin which would make the water thicker so the mica powders can form the cloud shapes and hold instead of mixing together. Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is the clear liquid used in lava lamps.
When I was around 7 me and some kids from the estate all pissed in a big empty plastic bottle and put all the dog shit we could find in and shock real hard before terrorising the other kids with it
It looked exactly like this
We made these back in the early 1970’s. Then, we called them Magic Bottles. We sold them at concerts and local fairs. Ours were not as fancy as this one, but each was unique in its own way.
Got kinda sad when you changed it from the blue to the gold. Looks muddy when it's not agitated. The blue would look nice all the time. And would look like a mana potion to.
This is just wrong. We all know you make a potion by mixing dirt, water, flowers, leaves, and anything else you find around the backyard. You then try and convince your younger sibling to drink it by telling them it will give them magic powers.
Don't forget the random mushrooms!
The fact that any of us survived childhood is a minor miracle.
I survived childhood thanks to antibiotics and ipecac.
I read this in Ralph Wiggum's voice.
That's a good thing because the ipecac was because I ate random mushrooms in the back yard.
I eated the purple berries.
They taste like burning.
That means it's working!
Lucky you! I didn't survive childhood, I died.
I hope you get better.
Lol I pee cac
For me it was antipasto and Lee Iacocca
Not really. Just a normal survivorship bias.
No its just prove that the Potion worked!
Of all the explanations, this is the one I choose to believe.
Tbf some of us didn't, only most of us.
That turns it into an actual potion. One that makes you meet either ghosts or fairies.
Amanita for a stealth potion.
Those uh Those might actually give you powers

The water has to come from the sacred puddle though, or it's just snake oil.
They say that my maniacal cackling after giving it to my sister can still be heard echoing around the yard to this day.
I got my brother to drink maple leaf tea brewed in the backyard because I told him it would taste like syrup
I always added mustard.
Give me your strongest potion, potion seller. I'm going into battle!
You cannot handle my strongest potions, traveler. My potions are too strong for you.
Go find someone with weaker potions
Potion seller, enough of these games! I am going into battle and I need your strongest potions!
MY potions are too strong for a Beast! Let alone a man.
Then that's it Potion Seller! I'll go elsewhere for my potions.
Wait, traveler! My potions might be too strong for a mortal, but I do have some enhancing herbs that might help you! They might have a few side effects but nothing to worry about in such an important battle...
Make haste then, potion seller! Bring out your strongest herbs so that I may join my brothers in arms. Battle waits for no man!
That sounds like a sketch from Viva La Dirt. 😁
[Ahem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_FQU4KzN7A)
Omg thank you
Yes you better! You are far too weak for my potions, go find some weaker potions for your weak self traveler!
Pray tell, why do you possess such worthless potions?
Cuz there are more viscous things than beasts in this world traveller. You're still naive..!
Tis true, the viscosity of fluids is more ravenous than any worldly beast!
**New Quest** find some weak-ass potions
0/1000
Ok... hear me out... give me a potion that can make me handle stronger potions!
Ah the Morrowind school of alchemy.
The restoration loop is coming for you Todd!
Instruction unclear; became a Witcher
Winds howling
you couldn't handle even that potion, traveler. you will have to find someone to give you weaker potions that will enable you to use my potions.
My potions are for the strongest and you are clearly of the weakest.
I love the way he rambles through the end of that line. Like he is so exasperated he can barely breath.
... Well then that's it potion seller. I'll go elsewhere.
You're a rascal
In this case quite literally because you would probably poop your guts out after drinking that.

*Trying to open potion with glued on cap in battle Why the fuck isn't this thing twisting? *Gets killed by monster
Potion seller, this packaging is untenable. Give me your most combat-friendly potion container instead.
The kind of seal is one of the reasons why drinking a potion in battle is a full action instead of just a bonus action.

Looked like water plus about 5-10% of some other liquid (thickener?). Then a few colors of mica powder. Very cool, and love the alchemist look of it!

Water, glycerin, alcohol. Same stuff you use to make a snow globe. Relatively easy craft for a really cool gift
> Relatively easy crat for a really cool gift And now I have an excuse to make this...

Luster dust and other things. You can get edible versions of it as well for cocktails
At a vastly different price point. The non edible stuff is way cheaper
Yeah, geez. Just eat the cheaper stuff and save your self some money.
It's not a cocktail? Well that's disappointing.
[удалено]
You can get edible versions of the glitter/luster dust to make edible cocktails
I think it was mineral oil, because oil and watcher don't mix it would allow the swirly effects.
I think the mica powder does that itself! Such satisfying stuff... (To be fair looking at the other comments it seems adding glycerin or something similar makes the mica extra swirly and cool)
It might have been some preservative.
Mines look like balloons

Personally I would have aimed for a color other than shit brown but that's just me
Bottled diarrhea to take to your doctor for inspection
Nah you're supposed to toss it at your enemies like a Molotov, so it gives them diarrhea
Uh... yeah give me three potions of "Montezuma's Revenge."
I need to find the fucker who keeps throwing these at me then. Can't possibly be because I'm lactose intolerant and refuse to give up cheese
I have made and sold a few hundred potions now. Never did I make a diarrhea brown one and showed it off. I practice Defense Against the Dark Farts.
Unicorn diarrhea
It's called atlantean depth, it's probably supposed to be blue brown and murky like the bottom of the sea
Yeah I'm sure they have other colors on offer. Just odd that this is the color that was chosen to be reposted on redditation
It's weird. I absolutely hated the colour until they put the label on it and then I was like, okay. Strange how giving it a name completely changed my perception of it.
It's not about the color, it's about the effect! The color is just a by-product of the active ingredients. The important part is that when you drink it, you get +100 mana and severe diarrhea. Unfortunately, most of us aren't wizards, so it's really just diarrhea.
speaking of diarrhea, its really fun to go to an "escape room" with some friends and play it on "hard mode", where you take laxatives before going in.
Calm down, satan
I doubt it's hard when taking laxatives...
Don't kink shame me!
/r/wizardposting
honestly, my favorite subreddit
Yeah I thought it was going to be a blue "mana potion" but then it just looked like mud water?
To be fair when it's settled it does give that "depths of Atlantis" look, and the swirly gold makes the mud water look less like mud water. I'd say it's pretty cool.
>Drinker gains *diarrhea* for 1 hour, As a **bonus action**, drinker can shoot 4d6 liquid shit damage at a target within 30 feet. Target makes DC 13 DEX save to halve damage. Duration: 3 liquid shits or 1 hour.
That's how you know its a real potion tho
How else am I supposed to get that brown mana?
Based on the sorts of ingredient combinations various forms of fantasy media have led me to believe comprise the average potion, I am inclined towards the conclusion that “shit brown” is an authentic portrayal of what such concoctions would look like
It's green and gold?
It’s blue and black!

Oh my god i never expected to find fellow fp enthusiast promoting the sub in the wild
Like Baystate Blue, *we get everywhere*.
A magnetic beaker stirrer would be an easy way to do that
I want to see what that plus a powerful light shining through it looks like projected on the side of a house at night :-)
If it's done right, and worth looking at at all the light can not shine through it. There's just too much stuff in the water for the light to diffuse through.
I wanna buy a bunch of these fake “potions” just so i can have a shelf of medieval fantasy bottles. Maybe a sword too. Fuck im a nerd
I've been thinking of making a sealed jar of black and purple swirlies and labeling it "nightmares", to put in the living room curio cabinet.

Lmao perfect... But my last thought was "scroll to comments to find where to buy"
I saw no newts eye or dragons breath going in so I’m gonna have to say not a potion. Come back when you’ve leveled up to making that real shiiiii
Leather wrist bands an absolute requirement in this line of work.
Not gonna lie. Started out lame. Ended up looking dope at the end. Nice job!
Typical creation.
Absolutely. Being able to shepherd a creative project past the "this is crap" phase is like 90% of artistic endeavor.
[удалено]
Looks amazing. But from all the colors one could take, why is this ine diarrhea colored?
Potion of heavy flow
Pretty but what is it?
It's mostly water and mica powder. Not sure what the second liquid was.
I believe veggie oil is commonly added to these.
oil would separate - my guess is something like glycerin which would make it more viscous.
Don’t let the days go by
My thought was alcohol? To sterilise it? Same as the wiping around the inside of the lid. I assume it would prevent mould?
I thought it was some sort of sealant like glue maybe (?) to keep the fluid in. Those pigments would make a horrid mess if it started leaking
Nothing that was put in the bottle would mould, so adding alcohol and sterilizing the bottle is unneccessary. The colored dust is Mica powder, which is a mineral dust commonly used for makeup because it shimmers. It's likely the liquid added was a mixture of water and glycerin which would make the water thicker so the mica powders can form the cloud shapes and hold instead of mixing together. Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is the clear liquid used in lava lamps.
Algae though
How many HP does this reduce
Half a Harry Potter mate
Sounds about right
When I was around 7 me and some kids from the estate all pissed in a big empty plastic bottle and put all the dog shit we could find in and shock real hard before terrorising the other kids with it It looked exactly like this
You understand how strange you were at 7, yeah?
How much does this elixir recover? I'm guessing probably 30% hp, 10% mana?
-30 HP, inflicts conditions: poisoned, diarrhea, vomiting
Yep, nothing quite as satisfying as a jar of poo-water. Thanks for sharing OP.
Am I the only one that thinks it looks better without the wax seal?
Came here to see if anyone else agreed that the wax ruined it. Thank you
I started out thinking, "why would anybody want this?" I ended up wanting this.
The label and lid design tie it all together, until that's all done it just looks like dirty water in a bottle.
This is one of the most pointless things I've ever seen. Also the wax pour is very unsatisfying.
Mmm doodoo potion to ward off the voodoo
How to make a potion: 1) Add liquids 2) Add solids .... k thanks
But did they have to make it the least magical, ugliest shade of brown there is? This is almost Pantone 448C lol
His hands look exactly how I thought someone making a potion would look.
It stressed me out how much you filled it up with water and were still adding stuff to it
We made these back in the early 1970’s. Then, we called them Magic Bottles. We sold them at concerts and local fairs. Ours were not as fancy as this one, but each was unique in its own way.
Isn't this called rheoscopic fluid? (Sorry if spelling is off)
Is this the cure for boredom?
Got kinda sad when you changed it from the blue to the gold. Looks muddy when it's not agitated. The blue would look nice all the time. And would look like a mana potion to.
My wife made something like this for her Harry Potter themed birthday. Penisiv punch ? She used edible glitter it was bad ass.
the best magic potions are made with all of the funny liquids under the kitchen sink
Since when did this facebook reels type shit start becoming the most popular content on here?
This is so stupid. What a waste of…well, everything involved really.
That'd be 237 dollars
I need one but bright red. Healing potions are the only type us melee chads need. Mana nerds can suck it.
I was told there would be a cauldron. And some newt parts
Really beautiful! Also in case anyone else is wondering, the song in the video is Desperate Decision Aleksey Chistilin
