OK, I've read previous threads on this subject, but none have really addressed correctly the following questions:

1. What is the difference between the old poppers and the ones made today

2. Where can I find the closest thing to the "old poppers."

I think I have the answers now -- but am open to discussion. First -- the old poppers were amyl nitrite (commonly referred to as amyl "nitrates"). Today's "knock offs" are other versions of nitrites (ie isobutyl nitrites, alkyl nitrites, iso-pentyl nitrites, etc).

As far as what and where to buy -- there is a site called poppersbrands.org that has real amyl nitrite formulations. They are called "Kix" and "English Amsterdam."

What I really want to know is -- has anyone tried either of these AND are they as good as the old stuff we remember???

Thanks!!
