Yea, but they're probably contaminated with mRNA.
When these start getting popular, I can't wait to see the feminists absolutely unravel.
They will pass a law that they have to come with a penis.
My dad was in a car where they were having a cherry bomb fight with another car. You drive down the cruise strip and toss them between cars.
The guy in the front seat lit one, held it outside, tossed it, and the wind pushed it through the open back window of the car. Landed in a guy's lap and went off.
1960s fireworks. Sort of like an M-50 power now. Likely the upper right.

I once had a brother in law who flushed cherry bombs down the toilets at his high school, causing scads of expensive damage. Then there was the Silver Salute he put into a toilet and didn't flush it...
I remember those having some power so I did a quick search.
A silver salute (sometimes called an "ash can") typically contained 3 to 9 grams of flash powder. This made it powerful enough to blow apart heavy wood or severely mutilate hands, packing roughly 60 to 180 times more explosive composition than a modern legal U.S. consumer firecracker (which is limited to 50 milligrams).
Power and Construction Details
- Explosive Load: Generally held 3g–9g of fast-burning flash powder (potassium perchlorate and aluminum powder).
- Comparison: Legal ground firecrackers in the U.S. are restricted to 0.05 grams (50 mg) of flash powder. Silver salutes exceeded legal limits by thousands of percent.
- Myth vs Reality: Sellers often marketed them as "1/3 stick of dynamite," which was sales exaggeration. They lacked true high-explosive brisance like dynamite, but their confined flash powder generated a concussive shockwave and loud report capable of shattering glass or destroying property.
Not sure where to post this, not sure what to make of it either...
