For personal use, Cherry Bombs were always a "Bang".

When I was in junior high, some high school guys had M-80's that were powerful enough to blow toilets at the school to pieces. Everyone used to say they were like a 1/4 stick of dynamite.


I think those were called silver kings. My shady cousin had a connection. We may or may not have blown up some mailboxes.

Our scout troop split up and had teams that fought each other. Hard to believe the worst damage was burned clothes, and possibly some hearing losses.


Bottle rockets were the long range artillery. Roman candles for putting the enemy on the run.

M-80's if we could find them

Bottle Rockets 2nd, learning to light them then throw at the perfect time was an art.

I think they were mostly called moon travelers back in the day but the name changed. Just the ones that you would buy a gross at a time.
