I need a potion name

[Sialia]

I need a really good name for a potion of scalding hot steam breath.

It needs to be made up of recognizable English words, and not entirely give away what the potion does.

It might suggest that the potion users mouth and throat will not be wholly immune to the effects.

I've been toying with "Brief Horrible Moments of Sanity," but if I were an adventurer who found a bottle labelled that, I'm not sure I'd be tempted to drink it to find out what it does.

The genre is for something set in contemporary U.S.A. So fire away with the 19th-20th-21st century idioms if you like

Send me ideas.

Keep 'em coming.


I'm looking for something more film noir, or gothic.

Something you might find on a modern mad scientist's lab bench and not be certain whether it was his current work, or something he uncovered from an earlier age.

Perhaps something evocative of gaslight Cthulhu, or steam punk.

A mysterious potion, which it may or may not be wise to imbibe. One of those shady borders between science and magic things.

Habanero Heat?

 

[Mark]

"Boiler's Beverage" or have a bunch of them in a box and cal it a "Case of Victorian Vapors"

So, in other words, pretty much any modern designer hot-sauce bottle with depictions of skulls, flaming back passages, and chili symbols drawn upon it, with outrageous titular references to death, explosive diarrrhea, and sobbing like a girl?

Fresca!
