I’d be happier about launching fireworks if the pack of bottle rockets (144 individual rockets) came with a combined fuse. Launching would be significantly easier, and it would scare the neighborhood pets more.

Living in California was interesting. People got fireworks from the reservations and brought them back to Southern California. So you’d get such illegal and outlawed contraptions such as.. ground spinners and blooms. Woo. It was like how eating forbidden candy as an adult loses the panache it had when you snuck (sneaked?) around with it as a kid.
