A popper toy is a relatively small toy, often single use, which is used as a party favor and which emits a loud pop. The popper is often a plastic tube with a pull string, though it may also be in the shape of a revolver. It may contain compressed air or a small gunpowder charge. In some jurisdictions, they are regulated as fireworks.

As the name of a drug, poppers are certain inhaled recreational drugs such as amyl nitrite which are used as aphrodisiacs in club scenes. They are used medically as a treatment for cyanide poisoning. They act as muscle relaxers too, so in addition to any rush and any aphrodisiac effect, they may also make anal sex easier, and was partly why so many gay men used them in the 80's, around 69% in the Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC area. The numbers of gay men who used poppers during sex declined sharply after the AIDS epidemic, while the population of addicts who used poppers stayed about the same. Today, poppers require a prescription, though there is a "commercial use" exception for non-drug usage. So now, people use VCR head cleaner solutions and other products for recreational use, and such products are even available at adult bookstores.
