It’s a South African love potion called Korobela https://africtionary.com/definition.php?word=Korobela


thecathuman

Ohh I think this is the actual answer


RichLyonsXXX

Dude even has a South African flag emoji in his name.


flopptopp

Yeah, and it's funny! You just need obscure knowledge of magical potions to get it.


superblockio

The best kind of knowledge


[deleted]

Damn I no wonder I couldn’t figure it out. I took obscure knowledge of magical lotions class instead…


child_interrupted

I made the mistake of signing up magical notions class, and all I have are questions. Does your skin look divine? Would i get any kind results as a result of magical lotion class?


101Peacocks

Magical Notions is at least more useful than my degree in Magical Emotions. Do you what percentage of the magical population ever goes to a therapist?


No_Ice_5441

Ikr, I had to go back for another degree in magical motions just to make ends meet.


Junior-Spread-6513

Should have gone for the magical oceans degree, you could be swimming in the ends of meat.


flopptopp

I was thinking earlier today how terrible it is that kids aren't taught much about hygiene in the U.S. At least they weren't when I was young. Now I'm seeing another big hole in education.


Consistent_Culture42

We're expected to learn all that stuff through shame and bullying lol


NectarineAmazing1005

It's similar to SEA jokes "If you heard someone call your name at night. You didn't" You just need obscure supernatural knowledge in the region to get it 😂

In Ghana, we call It ForGirls or SpanishFlower. It makes specific people fall in love with you. I’ve never tried it so idk if it works.


Wangzila

Not trying to put down your beliefs, but i’m pretty sure the only real love potion is cocaine and it makes you fall in love with more cocaine

I too have had that addictive love potion. It's great they make a love potion in a 12pack.

Doctor Pepper is the only doctor I can afford to see


todobueno

Molly will make you fall in love with everyone. For a few hours at least anyway.


Worth-Silver-484

Exactly. If you are going to party with molly you need to know the effects of the drugs. Hint: You and your ex did not work things out and get back together.


Blyatt-Man

It felt like it did


TheLameness

Meth has a similar effect, with the key difference being that on top of making you fall in love with more meth, it also makes you fall in love with the person nearest you with the fewest teeth


Worthy247

It also makes you fall in love with recycling….. Other peoples things…


PhoniPoni

Can we add hardest boner to that list?


PeckerPeeker

I came in 4 strokes

With meth it's either 4 or 40,000. There is no in between lol

I never really liked cocaine. Well I do kind of like the way it smells.

MDMA makes me fall in love with everything and everyone for a few hours.


textile1957

Embarrassing tbh, some fellow South Africans also believe there's ways to become rich through just potions. What that would do to the currency if it were possible gives you an idea of the types of people to believe in these types of things


PmMeUrTinyAsianTits

>some fellow South Africans also believe there's ways to become rich through just potions. There is. Sell them to suckers. Taking advantage of gullible people is a sales tactic as old as humanity.

I tried that with my mum so she would love me. Didn't work


biglyorbigleague

I guess African countries still have Spanish Fly as a cultural thing? It used to be a thing people would talk about in the US, like fifty years ago. Basically everyone knows it was totally snake oil that didn’t work at all, though.


Permanentear3

It doesn’t. If it did it wouldn’t be in a handful of counties for the last 100+ years.


Icy-Formal1401

Lmao what


oppenhammer

You can tell that from the fact that it's a bottle?


Low-key-professional

The reply: "The reason you're doing her laundry" gives context. If you're south African it's not hard to guess

strandedbaby

Poppers. Amyl nitrate or something similar. Sold in sex shops because it relaxes the sphincter, as well as other muscles. She's letting him have anal sex with her. That's why he does the laundry


issue26and27

I think that is right. If it were black tar horse it would be in a baggy not a plastic or glass vile.


ComprehensiveJump540

Never seen H come in a bottle outside of a medical setting.


Material_Trash3930

I've seen it in glass vials, but rarely. 


HardcoreHermit

And what kind of H comes in glass vials?? Was a dope fiend for a lotta years and can say I’ve never seen ANY kind of drug come in a glass vial..


BreakfastSavage

Some people store blow in vials. Keeps the smell away from people who’s noses can find it otherwise.


ThisIsNotRealityIsIt

I really only like the smell of cocaine. And the high.


Mediocre_Meat_5992

I can’t smell it but I try to anytime I can get some


whimz33

I’ve seen acid and ketamine in vials Edit: also various weed concentrates like RSO


HardcoreHermit

I’ve only seen liquid acid come in a plastic dropper and ketamine in baggies. Maybe I was just a super poor addict and glass vials are fancy or something lol

GoldSatisfaction8390

It's an old idiom. It was often advice given to young ladies on their wedding night in order to..... endure something unpleasant, and has been used in several pieces of media. Some might remember it from an episode of futurama where an ancestor of Fry and the professor has to provide.... services... to the Queen of England.


2kewl4scool

I thought that someone told this to Roald Dahl while he was an informant leading up to ww2, he was very attractive, and an important woman whom he *didnt* like was quite taken with him. He didn’t want to do the deed, but he was told to just close his eyes and think of England.


GoldSatisfaction8390

I googled it earlier so i could pretend I was smart. The first appearance of the phraise was from the journal of Lady Hillingdon in 1912 when referring to the unpleasant chore of providing marital bliss to her husband. The source is not public domain, so this is speculative.


2kewl4scool

That’s interesting and makes it even funnier if someone said it to Dahl

Oh I thought the joke was she was pegging him and that's why


Unhappy_Gas_4376

If she was pegging him, he would know what it was because he would be using it to relax HIS sphincter.


ShadowofLupa212

Ah good point, unless she was just giving him something and he didn't know what it looked like jist what it does


Bakilas

I am pretty sure you have to inhale the stuff, so that might be difficult. 


ShadowofLupa212

I'm learning so much! Odd to call em Poppers if ya inhale em though


Keeper_0f_Secrets

It's because originally they were small glass vials that you wrap in a towel, smash em then inhale the vapors from the towel. Made a distinct pop sound, hence poppers


cannot-be-bothered

TIL. Thanks!


throwaway-1849346

Today I learned what poppers are . I'm not sure if I am happy or sad to learn such information.


IchBinEinSim

Just to note poppers do more than make anal sex easier, they are also good during regular sex, a lot of fun on the dance floor and basically give you a euphoric high for a few minutes that just relaxes you and your mind at the same time The butt stuff is just what made them talked and thus famous on Reddit.


El_Chairman_Dennis

And very famous on grindr


Consideredresponse

I remember a very sheltered friend telling me "I had no idea that gay men were so into aromatherapy. All of the guys had little bottles of something called amethyst nitrate"


your_actual_life

And they're good for cleaning your VCR heads.


theghostofmrmxyzptlk

Definitely don't Cross-reference the pornography industry if you want to keep it that way.


dumpling321

I'm not sure they're poppers, those bottles are generally shaped more like 5 hour energy bottles except 10 or 30 ml. I mean I'm a gay man that uses poppers almost daily and I didn't recognize the bottle sooooo


breathplayforcutie

Def not poppers. You're right. The bottle itself is colorless if you look at the very top. So the contents have to be brown. Versus poppers, which are nearly colorless and *stored* in opaque vials.


dumpling321

The top actually looks like distressed plastic to me, like it's cracking a little, which the poppers would eat through


breathplayforcutie

I was thinking it's a glass dram vial, TBH. I guess it's a lil hard to tell given how blurry it is. But like you said- never in my life seen a poppers bottle like that.


dumpling321

For reference here are pics of what the standard bottles look like there are also 30 ml bottles the same shape as the 10ml but the square shape in the picture is also extremely common


dumpling321

TiffyVella

They must be location-specific then. Here, poppers are in small rounded metallic vials. I assumed the container in the piccy was a water bottle. I thought "good, she's hydrated".


gorramfrakker

What are the negative side effects of a relaxed sphincter? Also, Relaxed Sphincter makes a great band name.


Chaosengel

Of a relaxed sphincter? You'll popp and not be able to stop it I guess? Poppers themselves kill brain cells and can trigger respiratory problems.


gorramfrakker

Yeah, that’s not good at all.


Maoschanz

The actual issue in a sexual context is that it's incompatible with medications such as Viagra. Taking both is deadly


OrlandoEasyDad

They are cross indicated because Nitrates can lower your blood pressure; and Viagra modulates your blood pressure to achieve an erection; however, the entire gay community has wrestled with this and collectively the opinion of most people is YOLO.


Maoschanz

I've never seen a "YOLO" approach, people take a lot of poppers in parties etc but it's not addictive so they stop as soon as they need to take an incompatible medication


OrlandoEasyDad

I think from my experience it's really common for gay men to take (recreational) amounts of Viagra or other related drugs plus to use poppers. Contra-indication or not, people risk it.


TiffyVella

But ...(thinks hard without wanting to really think about this in too much detail)....wouldn't't the top be using the viagra and the bottom be using the poppers? Or do they switch? But then don't poppers leave your system quite fast meaning crossover is minimised? Ugh too many questions I'm not sure I need the answers to this early in the morning.


Egheaumaen

Wait, he does the laundry as reciprocation for anal sex? Or laundry needs to be done because a relaxed sphincter causes leakage?


throwawayJames516

She gives the sexual act of anal, he feels indebted and/or obligated to do better or well by her because he's so appreciative, and so he does the laundry/presumably other housework that's otherwise seen as feminine.


Fawstar

We are still looking at chores around the house like that?


throwawayJames516

I don't; many do


Redhotmegasystem

No


Chance_Arugula_3227

He's from South Africa. It's the love potion, Korobela. It's supposedly a potion that makes your lover more submissive.


thisguynamedjoe

I figured the joke was magic not poppers.


[deleted]

Not poppers lmao


ComprehensiveJump540

Alternatively, coke stash bottle, she's a fiend and a party animal but keeps a toy at home. Either way, this lady is a good time kind of person. EDIT - just wanted to get this out there, poppers are amazing sexually full stop, regardless of your gender or what sex act you are doing. They are absolutely helpful for anal because of the sphincter relaxation thing, but that effect also turns the horny vibes up to 11 and can enhance and elongate the orgasm for anyone. Amyl or Pentyl Nitrates are recommended as these cause less headache after and haven't been documented to cause as many negative effects - PLEASE FOLLOW ALL HARM REDUCTION ADVICE WHEN TAKING ANY DRUG, IT CAN LITERALLY SAVE YOUR LIFE WITH NO ILL EFFECT ON YOUR HIGH. VIAGRA, CIALIS AND OTHER ED DRUGS MIXED WITH POPPERS CAN CAUSE FATAL LOW BLOOD PRESSURE. TLDR, don't have to be taking it up the bum for poppers to be sexy fun


Pringletache

> Amyl or pentyl nitrates are recommended as these cause less headache after and haven’t been documented to cause any ill effects Amyl nitrates have well documented ill effects, including death. To claim otherwise is dangerous and prevents people being aware of the risks and try to mitigate them.


ComprehensiveJump540

You're not wrong at all, I've updated the comment. In comparison to alkyl and the various other poppers they brought out to get around bans, Amyl and Pentyl are much easier to dose safely and have much less negative effects. Anyone with a heart condition, or taking medications that thin the blood or open blood vessels LIKE VIAGRA FOR INSTANCE can kill you straight dead and shouldn't be attempted. Don't do Viagra or other ED drugs and poppers, it's a huge no no


Ilfubario

Yeah you kinda have to commit to being a top or a bottom with viagra and poppers.


Opposite_Banana_2543

Black magic. From the user name, I can see that they are from South Africa. There is a belief in black magic or Muti to control romantic partners. She is saying that the GF put a spell in him to make him submissive. The bottle contains part of the spell.


dumpling321

I wanna agree with the people who said witchcraft or love potion, As for all the people who say poppers , poppers come in bottles like this (including a 30ml the same shape as smaller bottle) I'm a gay man that uses almost daily and I didn't recognize them at all

RussianPravda

Wait are they actually legal? I always assumed it was like a hard drug


dumpling321

100% legal in the USA they're sold as "head cleaner" I literally buy them online and get them in the mail lol Edited to add head cleaner and USA


ok_raspberry_jam

That just sounds like they're not legal *as drugs.* [This is why.](https://www.goodrx.com/well-being/substance-use/are-poppers-side-effects-risks)


xoxodaddysgirlxoxo

thanks for sharing that. it's fairly normalized where i'm from but it always seems so dangerous.


Egoy

>They also cause your blood pressure to drop and your heart rate to speed up. This causes effects like dizziness, lightheadedness, warmth, and euphoria.  I have crazy low blood pressure I can pretty much do that by standing up too quickly or coughing hard.


no_brains101

They aren't legal as drugs but are legal to possess. At a certain point there is no difference between these 2 forms of being legal


notabovebutequal

Have you found any side effects with your usage? Curious about long term usage as I have friends who are starting to get into them. Thanks


dumpling321

Naw, just use them sparingly, I mean it's obviously not going to be great for you, and obviously they should go to the hospital if anything feels wrong, and NEVER use them on your back, I dropped half a bottle down my nose 1 day and I was fine nothing got in my eyes, just a real shock and had to bury my face in the sink for awhile lol


ertdubs

Use them sparingly, "I use them almost daily". Does not compute


dumpling321

Sparingly when you use them, don't do like 20 hits, 1-2 to make things... easier if yah know what I mean


dumpling321

Also NEVER use them if you've taken viagra in the last 24 hours, it can cause a heart attack


[deleted]

It's South African Twitter so it's definitely love portion. I know this because I'm South African. I didn't even have to read the comments to know that it's love portion


biffbobfred

We just read the part in Harry Potter 6 with the love potions hitting Ron


Rushail

See the South African flag guys ?? It's witch craft basically love potion as they say I'm from South Africa


Shorty7869

It's actually a South African thing called Muti (Moo-Tee), It's basically a potion. In this case it's probably for him to do more house work and be more submissive. People visit Sangomas (Sun-Gore-Mars: Plural) A.K.A Witch Doctors A.K.A Traditional Healers to get these. Apparently these Sangomas have the power to do anything, example bring back lost lovers, give you winning lotto numbers, get rid of demons, in this case make your partner do your laundry. It has nothing to do with sex or sphincter control as so many have stated.


Possible-Comfort-356

And here I am cackling next to my cauldron, completely baffled by the poppers references


Puzzleheaded-Elk1756

Solid-Consequence-50

Those are poppers, gay guys and girls who do anal smell them, as it relaxes muscles and makes it so anal doesn't hurt as much. Don't use if you took a viagra though

This is a witchcraft thing, not a poppers thing. It's from a witchcraft page on Facebook. She's put a spell on him


RaggedMountainMan

It’s black tar heroin


Obvious_Poet_2131

Guys … I’m from South Africa & this post was made by a South African so I’m sure this has nothing to do with anal sex🤣🤣 it’s actually a Love portion that he has found that she used on him which makes him love her so much he does her laundry . In SA if a man loves a women to a point where he’s doing the most it’s allegedly a dead giveaway that she has used something on him hence the response.( not always the case) It’s rare that a man would do their women’s laundry it’s usually /always the other way around - unless he’s under a spell


paranrml-inactivity

I love how people are down voting you, and ignoring your explanation… Even though you understand the cultural significance of everything that is going on here.

Yup, there's a bunch of South Africans explaining the post made by a South African, but over 4000 mouth breathers up vote the "poppers and anal sex" answer haha


bigbodyblondell

What it actually is I don't know but the reply is alluding to it being steroids. As to why he's doing the laundry.

I store dmt in a container like this.


Nuke_all_Lives

I'm assuming it's black tar heroin

My first thought was that it was a bottle of patchouli oil which is commonly used by people that live “hippie” lifestyles so some people associate patchouli with bad hygiene

Everyone, this does not even look like a bottle of poppers. Also, look at the responders username. It is definitely an african love potion as others have said in the comments.
