The 7 Best Fireworks Ever
Written by Jason D. Barrett. Filed under: Fireworks, Firecrackers, 4th of July July 3rd, 2007In honor of the 4th of July, lets take a stab at listing the 7 best fireworks ever.
- Snakes - Light these babies on your driveway before your dad gets home. The leftover black spots will hang around for years.
- Tanks - Bad a$$ toys for bad a$$ boys. You can blow them up with a sticky bomb (blackcat) once they’ve served their purpose.
- Chickens - You know you bought em’. I did too. Great for sticky bomb disposal like the tanks.
- Poppers - Just provide good clean fun. I can fire them off with my teeth. Ooh, look at me!
- Saturn Missiles - Heads up in the crowd. These little babies will run right up your tailpipe if you aren’t careful. Also good material for sticky bomb disposal.
- Lady Fingers - Quick fuse leads to numb fingers. Ask me how I know.
- Black Cats - The granddaddy of them all. No firework kit is complete with out some of these. Break them and light them. Light a whole strand at once. Build a black cat domino course. Dump out the powder for some super explosives. I miss my childhood.
Since this is Smokin’ Sevens, I am not allowed an 8th item. However, when you run the blog, you run the show. So as a compromise I present 7a) smoke bombs. These are too fun to leave out. Put a Lady Finger in the spent bomb cartridge and you have got yourself some more fun.
Other notables: sparklers, Roman candles, Thunder Bombs, M-80s, bottle rockets, concussion rounds, and strobe flashers.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Have a safe holiday! By the way, what have I missed?
