Is my chlorine sample real?
I bought a pressurized liquid chlorine ampoule online and I was surprised how thick it was. It was more like oil than water. Here's a YouTube video showing someone else with a very similar sample.
I trust my seller but I’m wondering why is it so thick? It doesn’t flow easily.

At $pu{20 °C}$ dynamic viscosity of liquid chlorine is about $pu{0.35 mPa·s}$ (see Figure 4 from [1, p. 7]), whereas dynamic viscosity of water is about $pu{1 mPa·s}$, e.g. water is nearly 3 times more viscous at room temperature than liquid chlorine, which should not appear that thick.
Figure 4. Viscosities of chlorine gas and liquid.
Note that your perception of viscosity and "thickness" may be distorted due to capillary effect if your chlorine sample is sealed in a tiny ampule.
