Ever crack the neighbor's swimming pool with a waterproof M-80? I did. Bah! You kids with your pre-packaged fire crackers. Try making your own gun powder and then having to find ground up aluminum or zinc. That's what we had to do in the '80's because the jokes that were being sold as M-80's by then wouldn't even blow through coke can.

Who said we had to stop with the crazy stuff when we grew up? I work for a company that packages a single use solvent wipe in a little glass ampoule. One of our sales guys called me and told me a customer told him that they explode just like an M-80. Within 5 minutes, we were out back trying to light 'em up. Exploded pretty cool too. The boss laughed when we told him it was just in the interest of science
