Yea, when we lived in Hawaii we rode out bikes down to Arakawa's of Waipahu to buy a a lot of fireworks. The 1960s stuff made in China, and with red paper. No government safety standards. They made the standard "Black Cat" look wimpy.
We blew things up for three days straight in our front yard. We had one can that we could get to go higher than the roof of the house. Then New Year's eve hit and we lit a string of firecrackers that was 6 feet tall. The guy across the street light off a string that was hanging from a utility pole and it had to be most of the way to the top. The red firecracker paper was blowing around into drifts, and I crash into one drift while riding my bike and fell in the grass with luck. It took weeks for the red paper to all get cleaned up.
I guess I got it all out of my system. I have not bought any fireworks since. I can just save time and effort and just take a match to money and burn it.
