“My favorite were “cracker balls,” about the size or a small marble that would explode if thrown on a hard surface.”

Did you know the fire-engine red ones had triple the explosive power of the other colors?

Well that was the kid mythology in our neighborhood anyway, and we pretty much had ourselves convinced it was true.

We were big stuff, until a young adult down the street showed up with some REAL M-80s (”1/8 of a stick of dynamite was the kid legend on that one”), and REAL cherry bombs.

LOL, I loved those things. We’d place em under the pegs of a toilet lid. When sat on, they blow and scatter sand on the back of the legs. Or lay em on the road for cars to drive over. Boom, flat tire? Great fun!!
