I also remember slipping 50 count black cats through mail slots in the middle of the night. We were so bad
I can't recall if we had black cats when I was a kid in the '70s but we definitely bought these:





One of them went off in my hand (index finger and thumb) when I tried to toss it. It lit so fast, I had no time to get rid of it. Throbbing pain was the only damage, luckily.

Definitely had Black Cats in the 70s,and it seemed like they were the best to us.

Really none of the regular firecackers or bottle rockets were very powerful,but the speed of the bottle rockets could hurt you if they hit you directly in the eye. Harmless other than that.
